What 1994 Mercury Tracer owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
My tracer's motor belt on the drivers side has failed.....now I am a valet att. At a resort casino for 5 years and this is a problem with most tracers I run across.....this is a saftey issue because the belt is left virtually unusable..I have a teen drver as well as my wife and myself and I would like them to have the utmost saftey while driving...and my dealer seems to ignore that fact..$500.00 is a litte pricey fo my budget...and for a part that should last the lifetime of a vehicle...my car is well maintainedand I feel this problem should be looked into.
Driver's side automatic seat belt restraint does not unlock when the door opens as it should, and when it locks it tightens up too much. Dealer has been contacted.
Both side motorized seat belts failed to operate; would only go half way on track and stop. Dealer notified and repaired one side at consumer cost ($750.00). Would like the federal safety agency help on this safety matter concerning manufacturer's0 defect or cost of repairs.
Front seat motorbelts not functioning at all, will not open or shut.
Both rear seat belts are hanging out of the retractor, and will not retract back into the mechanism. The seat belt on the driver's side was replaced once under warranty less than 2 years ago, when the same problem occurred. Manufacturer stated to consumer that the seat belts could not be replaced free of charge.
The seat belt on the driver's side will not retract back and forth. Also, the rear seat belts will not retract at all. The problem has not been corrected.
Brakes makes squealing/grinding noise, had vehicle at dealer, repaired brakes, problem still exists; also, experiencing problem with driver's shoulder belt which will not tighten; had dealer repair it, but still not operating correctly.
Failure of the driver's side seatback bolt, consumer was involved in an accident and the driver's side seatback bolt broke and the seat belt did not lock.
