First episode: driver's seat belt locked prematurely while in motion ~35mph, no special circumstances, not braking rapidly. At next red light, I unbuckled but could not draw belt out more than a few inches. Pulled into a parking lot, opened and closed door a few times and finally got belt to pull out far enough to rebuckle and drive home. Since then, seat belt also locks intermittently after few inches of extension upon initial car entry and first buckle-in. Opening and closing door and multiple pulls eventually releases belt enough to buckle, but then it becomes slack while driving. Problem first started late feb-early march, but definitely before march 16, 2020 when santa clara county shelter-in-place order started. It has escalated since then...warming weather? I drive to my pediatric practice and the newborn unit at our local hospital 4-5 times/week despite pandemic. I'm concerned that if belt is locking inappropriately at vehicle startup and slackening during normal driving, it may fail to lock in a crash.

Seat belts in back seat on both sides do not come out . While trying to pull out the belts they keep locking up as if it was pulled out to fast, but it doesn't matter the speed you pull them out. I can not have people in the backseats. It is not safe.
I am informed by ford, that they do not have them to repair the parts? The car steers incorrectly, pulls to the side. Was happening on highway as well as city driving, and I-95
Driver seat belt won't retract. My driver seat belt has gotten stuck multiple times. I'd pull on it and it wouldn't retract. It would just keep rolling out but never roll back in.

Driver's side seat belt keeps locking up and will not let you use the seat belt, it will work a day or two then you will go a few days with it not letting you use the seat belt because it will not come out.
Seat belt on driver side is locked up, unable to buckle into car, or able to get the seat belt to move at all, this car has under 9000 miles on it, purchased less than 6 months ago. Pulling on the seat belt only made it worse, I assume it is an issue with the tensioner.
