Conshohocken ford fixed the driver side belt, but only inspected the passenger side to see that it was still working. The passenger side automatic seat belt was still working. Recently on 5/28/99, the passenger side automatic seat belt stopped working. I called conshohocken ford to see that it would be fixed under the federal safety agency recall 96v172002, they indicated that they would fix it and to bring it in on 6/, and claim that they are not liable for the cost to repair. I contacted the ford hotline and received the same story. Therefore, I am contacting the federal safety agency because I feel that this is a serious safety problem with an obvious national recall associated with it. I feel that ford motor company should repair this belt free of charge.
