Tl* the contact owns a 2002 ford ranger. The contact stated that the vehicle was not equipped with the proper seat belt in order to safely secure a child safety seat. The child seat manufacturer noted in the warning section of the owners manual that the child safety seat can not be secure utilizing the door mounted seat belts. The manufacturer advised the contact that the anchor to accommodate the latch system could be retro fitted in order to properly secure the child safety seat into the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician was not able to locate the parts that would allow the latch system to be retro fitted into the vehicle. The contact had not installed the child safety seat in the vehicle. The failure and current mileage was 151,500.

The seat belt retractor on the drivers side will not retract the belt more than a few inches. The remaining belt falls onto the door opening and gets pinched when the door is closed. This damages the belt.

Drivers seat belt releases on it's own while driving. Happens at least 5-6 times while driving. Can happen right after engaging or any time after engaging. Does not matter if driving on smooth or bumpy roads, it will pop off. It happens everytime I drive. Have almost been injured from having to stop fast and was not held in the seat because it came loose. Part is going to be replaced when I can get one.

2002 ford ranger, seat belt come undone while driving. Every time I drive the car, it comes undone at leased 5 times a day while driving every day since I bought the vehicle. Went to ford and they wouldn't even look at it. Just told me to buy a new one....which I couldn't afford, also the plastic handle on the tailgate breaks off every couple of years, and I have to replace it.

Seat belt never stays connected ( pops out) all speeds. (5 yrs) I asked dealer about fixing he said my warranty expired buy a new one (ford does not care about safety after warranty date) the airbag light will stay on for a week then off for a month then repeat ( 5 yrs) door ajar light has never turned off (maybe it will burn out so I don't see it anymore) tailgate latch replaced 3 times ( dang that cheap plastic) front end realigned numerous times (anti nascar, always turns right) engine shudders bad few times a year(bad gas maybe once, others probably not) coil pack replaced twice (im still under 60,000 miles) rear window leaks also :)

As I was driving on the interstate going about 60 MPH, my seat belt (driver's side) came unbuckled. As I attempted to buckle it again, I was unable to get it to stay buckled. I contacted the local car dealer who asked me to bring the vehicle in for them to inspect. Upon inspection by the dealer where I bought the truck, I was informed of the need to have the seat belt connector unit replaced. This was done the next day, and I have retained the replaced part.
