My seat belt (drivers side)does not retract real well you have to push it back into the side wall of the car. I have noticed that other VIN numbers have had a recall but not mine. I called ford in michigan to ask them how to get a recall started and they told me that I can not. Then I asked them to fix my problem free of charge and they told me if I wanted it fixed that I would have to pay for it. I told them that it was a safty issue and that they should have to pay for it free of charge. Dt
1999 Ford Mustang seat belts complaints

Both front seatbelts have stopped working. They get twisted at belt guide loop, and will not retract. Dealer replaced both front seatbelts.*ak
This is a copy of the e mail:: product safety alert! I want to first state: I do not currently own a ford vehicle. The vehicle that concerns me is 1999 mustang with power driver's seat with switches mounted on the front of the seat (and like vehicles) I was recently installing a remote car starter/alarm for a customer who owns a 1999 ford mustang convertible, and I was positioned under the driver's side dashboard (on my back/side, in the footwell) and was securing a module under the dashboard and I moved slightly, and the electric seat started to move forward (the side of my torso made contact with the adjustment switch) at that point the seat was powering forward pinning the switch to my torso in the forward position (I was unable to reach it) I was being crushed! And could not stop the seat! My neck was bent at an unnatural angle and my face was coming in contact with a rather hot shop light that was positioned near the accelerator petal. I was alone in the shop, luckily I was able to sound the horn and get assistance from a fellow employee who was in our showroom, at the point he rescued me (by stuffing his hand behind my back and relieving the pinned switch, luckily he was familiar with the switch location) I was pinned between the knee bolster and the seat in (apx a 6" space) and under the steering wheel, and I am a large man of 290lbs! The seat was still continuing to move forward. I was unable to free myself and could not breath or even yell for help because my body was so compacted, when I exhaled I was unable to inhale again to yell out. At this venture I still have discomfort in my back, neck, and ribs from this incident (I am not suggesting you contact your lawyers) but I am asking you to please alert your technicians, owners, etc., who might be put in this same deadly/dabilitating situation. Contact your design dept. For switch relocation etc. It is extremely dangerous! I hope that you will return this email/take action on this very dangerous event.
Recall 99v250000. This vehicle not affected by this recall, although it has same problem. Passenger's seatbelt will not pull out.
No summary listed for above vehicle.
Car stalls out while in motion. Has happened turning a corner, on a bumpy road (2" road construction drop off), and for no apparant reason. Does not happen very often, but can be very dangerous if in heavy traffic. 2) when trying to put car in reverse while stopped (coming out of my garage or a parking space, for example) gear shift refuses to go into reverse. Putting into first does not help. I have found that letting up on the clutch just the right amount will usually let it go into reverse. 3) seatbelts are much to sensitive. Just driving down the road you can hear them repeatedly clicking, locking and unlocking. You have to make any movement very slowly or else you will be snapped back to the seat. Turning to look over your shoulder at traffic will get you locked in. Extremely dangerous. Much safer for the driver to go without using the seatbelt, because they are more likely to cause an accident.
Passenger's side seat belt gets tighter and tighter when going over a bump, to the point where consumer can't breath. Consumer has to either undo belt while driving, or hold belt in hand to avoid being squeezed to death. Consumer has to hold seatbelt in hand while driving. This could cause an accident. Dealer said seat belts were made for a baby seat, and that they all were made that way. Consumer feels this is very dangerous.
Consumer was involved in 50 MPH frontal collision in which the driver's/passenger's air bags did not deploy, also seat belts did not lock up. Please give any further details.
The driver side seat belt improperly installed causing it to twist. Yh
