The lap band portion of my seatbelt is fraying directly above the buckle. It continues to fray even further each time I fasten my seatbelt.

Seat belt auto retractor has progressively degraded in performance on the driver's seat since ~70,000 miles. As of now, seat belt will no longer retract without physically pushing it back into the housing. Pretensioner still operates correctly.

This cars transmission slips out of gear whenever it wants too, shifts erratically and unpredictable especially in traffic at speed between 0 and 45 miles per hour. Two time I was almost in a fatal accident because when I stepped on the gas with the car in drive it was not it gear, the engine tachometer jumped to 4,000 RPM and then snapped into gear, the transmission sounds like it is falling apart from the inside out, sounds like rocks inside. The rider side air bag light saying they are off comes on when ever it wants as well even with the seat belt buckled, up hill assist shuts off causing no or very little acceleration. The car is a death trap it was sold to me with a certified pre-owned warranty 12 month bumper to bumper and 150,000 mile drive train warranty. I have taken it back twice already and paradise ford in cocoa says its fixed its worse now than when I took it in and now the owner at the dealership refuses to service the car anymore.
