1995 Mercury Villager seat belts complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 42, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Why don't the manufactures replace the automatic seat belts if they are dangerous ? Ihave to keep reminding kidds and myself to snap the lap belt, and after you get use to them you seem to forget to use regular seat belts in other vehicles.
In mid to late 1995 my mother-in-law purchased this vehicle and later gave the auto to my wife and I. This vehicle has retractable shoulder belts. Several times, for no apparent reason the shoulder belt has quit working. I took the vehicle to babb ford in mid 2000. (june, I believe) on may 27,2001 I returned the auto to babb ford again for the same problem. I showed them my receipt from the year before and stated that I wasn't paying for another inertia switch that had been replaced the summer before. The mechanic "tinkered" with the wiring and found that when he disconnected a wire at the inertia switch, the system worked and it has not faltered since. He and/or the service manager contacted ford/mercury and explained the situation to them and they were told that the situation could not happen. I'm here to tell you it did. My concern now is wether or not the fuel shut off portion of the inertia switch is funtional or if it is not. Ford/mercury has not gotten back with my dealer to tell them of any new information.
