Driver side seat belt does not retract on its own. You have to manually mess with it to get it to retract. Sometimes it has a difficult time of pulling it out to buckle. Although still operable, I don't believe this is safe.

Passenger side seat belt failure - will not retract or come out.
Passenger side front seat belt continually locks up. Seatbelt is completely inoperative right now and will not retract or come out. Asked ford about the voluntary recall I had seen elsewhere and was told that there was none and parts were $300 to fix and two hours of labor to install and would carry a 12 month/12,000 mile warranty. Told them that seat belts were a safety issue that they needed to look at. Received a seatbelt violation ticket on the way home and since haven't driven the vehicle with a passenger.
Tl*the contact owns a 2003 ford mustang. The contact observed that the passenger front shoulder belt retractor was inoperative. The passenger seat belt retractor webbing failed to extract whenever worn by an occupant. The contact had concern of the safety risk involved. The vehicle has not been repaired for the malfunction. The failure mileage was unknown. The current mileage was 98,000. The VIN was unavailable.
My complaint is about the seat belts. They get twisted up every time you use them. My passenger seat belt is locked right now and I cant even use it.
Drivers seatbelt not retracting properly. Frequently have to drive without the seatbelt as it gets progressively tighter. When putting on the seatbelt I can feel a lot of tension on the belt for some reason. Also at time it will not retract at all and hangs loose.
