2013 Ford Focus seat belts problems

Filed Sep 11, 2023 · Seat belts · MI

The seatbelts in these cars do not retract. After it is buckled, it sits loose on the person wearing it. Is an accident, the seatbelt will provide no help, causing me, or one of my passangers to be hurt. 3 of the 4 belts in my car are basically useless. This is not only an issue in my car. I've noticed after working on several of these cars (ide assume from the years 2012-2018) they don't work. I have several friends and relatives with a model in between those years, and it can be duplicated in their cars too. This is a major issue, and needs to be addressed in all models of this vehicle

My driver seat belt does not retract at all when I get out. I feel like it is a safety hazard because if it doesn't retract when I unbuckle it won't restrain in a car accident. It should be a recall. Because someone could get whiplash. The dealership I took it to says it's not covered under my basic ford extended warranty. It should be free of charge to replace.

The drivers side seat belt receiver broke. It will not accept the seat belt buckle. Ford is charging me $250.00 to fix this. I don't feel I should have to pay anything to have a seatbelt fixed.
