“The light on the dash has been out for a number of years now, just the part where the meters are encased. The seatbelts have been going bad over a period of about 3 years. The left front shoulder belt does not always retract, nor does the right front shoulder strap. In the back, the left rear shoulder strap no longer retracts so that it is now forever loose and floppy...useless. Dealerships have informed us that servicing this problem is upwards of $500 . We have heard of other owners of escorts experiencing the same problem. …”
