2000 Ford Windstar seat belts complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 19 of 19, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My concern is that the seat belt webbing frequently is trapped in the door jab upon the drivers exit. I believe this repeated action could lower the tensile strength of the seat belt webbing. Ford recently replaced the assembly including the webbing, but this replacement assembly continues to frequently not fully retract the webbing resulting in the same trappment. I contacted the ford motor company safety office several times, their advice was to seek warranty replacement. This does nothing to address the potential safety issue with the webbing. The warranty narrative reads, "s25/dirver seat belt is slow to retract".
My questionn is: when there is a manufactures recall, is s th company obligated to provide a replacement for the time the car is being worked on? I.ve had a previous recall situation with ford and it took several times for the dealer to handle the situation. The car had to be left overnight for the windows sealant to settle. I was given a car reluctantly by the dealer . It was not comprable to what I was driving and didnt have enough seatbelts for all the children. Now that I have another recall and am to be inconvenienced for at least a half of day-are they suppose to loan/rent a car for me to use?
After installing child safety seat, and within in a day or two, seat has loosened from seatbelt. Seatbelts do not work properly. Please provide any further information.
Seat belt buckle on rear seats does not go into latching assembly, causing seat belt to become inoperable. Please give any further details.
While traveling 35mph vehicle was struck head-on and front passenger seat belt kept retracting, and caused severe injuries to passenger.
Second row driver side seat belt buckle malfunctioned, causing seatbelt not to latch which may not protect a child in event of a crash. Dealer popped it back into place, and said it was okay to use. But, consumer asked to replace seatbelt system. Please provide further information.
