The left front seat belt failed to work properly. The seat belts would not latch or release on their own. Driver was filling up at the gas station and without warning gasoline poured out onto the ground.

What 1994 Ford Ranger owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I am being charged $1100.00, by south bay ford, for 2 repairs (both saftey related) that I believe ford should be liable for. 1) when I fill the gas tank, on my vehicle, to the top I get a large quantity of gas leaking on the ground. It appears the coupling between the filler neck and the tank is the problem. 2) the driver side seat belt latch would either not latch or would not release easily. The last time I actually had to cut the belt in order to exit the vehicle. After a small amount of research, on this site, I found other complaints for the same 2 problems on my model of vehicle.
Problem is with the driver's seat belt. In the time that I have owned the vehicle, I have replaced the original and one replacement mechanism. The third mechanism is not now working properly and needs to be replaced. I contacted the service manager, mr. Joe spaw, on 22 september and explained the situation. He replied that the mechanism should have a longer use life (three wearing out) and that he would order a replacement. To date I have had no further response from castrucci ford. It appears to me that a safety restraint system should have a longer use life and not require replacement every two years.
Seat belts attached too high on the upper post,crossing consumers neck.
`the driver's side seat belt will not detach from belt buckle. After pressing red release button, consumer had to cut belt to get out of his seat belt. Please provide any details.
Consumer was reareneded by another vehicle which was traveling at approximately 30-35 MPH,the back of driver's seat collapsed which caused the seat belt to grab around the neck of consumer, and throw head back.
During impact, the driver's side shoulder belt broke apart, causing consumer to hit steering wheel.
When involved in side collision the seat belt threw the driver foreward into the windsheild. Please describe.
Front seat belts cannot be released/fastened with armrest in down position.
