Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Driver seat belt. Seat belt inadvertently comes loose. May stay fasten for five minutes or sometimes and hour then with no pressure applied to belt it just snaps loose. Ford had a recall but they claim my date of manufacture is not covered. I have filed a complaint with Ford and carried my vehicle to the dealer but they offered no resolution except seat belts wear out. I don't think they should wear out after 38,000 miles.”
