Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Front seat belt latch broke on both the driver side and passanger side. The spring that that operates the button to lock and unlock the belts broke and you cannot use seat belts because the latch will not hold the buckle as you ftry to lock it on. When I went to ford about this, they said it was not a recall item and that they could not replace them. I had to purchase a complete set of six new latches for the car as they did not sell individual latches. This is crazy as a seat belt is a mandatory safety item and in ny you will receive a police summons for not wearing them. This item should have been replaced by ford at no charge. I know for a fact that this is not an isolated occurrance as my ex-wife has a 1989 taurus and the same thing happened and she had the same results with ford. We both had to purchase full sets of seat belt latches to replace inoperative front ones. This certainly should be the responsibility of ford to provide safety equipment that is mandatory to use. How could I operate my car in ny or anywhere else without a set of operating seat belts? I look forward to your reply to this safety issue that ford has refused to respond to. Thank you
