2015 Ford Fusion seat belts problems

Filed Aug 29, 2024 · Seat belts · VA

When it gets warm outside, the seatbelt on the driver's side freezes in the resting position, so I cannot buckle up before I drive. It takes a while before I can use the buckle. This means I either drive unsafely to a meeting or wait for the inside of the car to cool down enough to buckle up to drive. I have let Ford know (case number: CXH-02550071-N4S4M4).

On May 15, 2023 I got in my car, proceeded to drive off when I noticed that the airbag light was still illuminated on the instrument panel. I notified the dealership the next day and dropped my car off on May 17, 2023. On May 19 a diagnostics test was run and revealed that I had a faulty seat belt buckle. I declined service on the car. This was shocking to me since I took my car to them less than 4000 miles and less than a year ago for the airbag light staying on again in 2022. At that time it was revealed that it was the passenger seat position sensor & it was repaired. In 2020 my car was also a part of Recall 19S25 for the seat belt. In 2018 repairs were also done on my car due to the airbag light coming on as well. I'm driving the car but now don't know if it is safe to drive. When I picked up the car, the light was still on but about 4-5 days later the light went off by itself. The passenger seat has barely been used since I purchased the car in 2015. After the repairs were done in 2022, the seat/seat belt has not been used so I don't understand how it can be faulty. It seems to me that there's a defect somewhere and it should be investigated. I would appreciate if this is given serious consideration. When I spoke with Ford Motor Company, they told me to contact you to have you investigate the matter. I am working with the Customer Relations Rep with Ford of Franklin- [XXX] at [XXX] regarding this matter. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Fuse continues to pop. The vehicle was driven to a grocery store and after the shopping the vehicle started up briefly then died. We changed the fuse at the parking lot but it popped the fuse again. We ended up having it towed. The mechanic believes it is a fuel pump issue or wiring to the fuel pump. We are on military orders in italy and have been unable to reach ford to authorize repair since we do have a valid extended warranty. Italian ford dealers will not work on american spec cars. We have a certified mechanic who has access to ford but needs the authorization code in order to start repairs and recalls. We are getting the run around with ford's customer service hotlines and no one seems to be willing to help. We cannot ship the vehicle back to the states with active recalls on it. The vehicle is completely broke down currently. We are upset on how ford supports its military!

Last year I took my fusion in for a couple of recalls at gary smith ford. One of the two recalls regarded my front passenger seatbelt. It wouldn't extend out properly without having to take extra measures. I had a recall letter in the mail regarding this error and it was apparently noted that the belt was fixed, but it is still not.

The back driver side seat belt is stuck and will not come out. The retractor keeps locking up. The vehicle was not in a collision. The breaks were not ever hit hard. It worked fine the day before. The next morning, my child tried to strap herself up and it would not come out. The vehicle was stationary in the drive way. The other seatbelts work fine.
