Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“During safety checks on a 2006 Ford E-350 15 passenger (church) van it was observed that approximately 9 of the 13 rear passenger seat belts were unavailable because the belts or buckles had slipped down through the seat cushions and were lying on the floor. It was impossible to push the (doubled up) buckles / belts back up through the seat. It was necessary to use a torx t-50 bit on a 3/8 ratchet to remove the seat belt anchor bolts and thread the belts down from the top and then retighten the anchor bolts. It appears likely that the belts will soon slip back to the floor. …”
