2013 Ford Flex Seat belts Problems

“2nd row seat belts not working or broken. Driver side is not latching or retracting, so none can use that seat. Passenger side the buckle cover wont stay on, and it has some small sharp objects that can cut someone or my kids.”

“The right side middle row seat belt continues to have problems. The middle row is always difficult to buckle by the kids and the right side doesn't even work.”

“Well I was driving on the street and a light come up said power steering service after 10 seconds the steering wheel when super hard to turn and turn to the right side thank god I did not hit a car but I call to the dealer I tell them there was a recall for the steering gear rack and they said not for my car when this is happening and all Ford FLEX 2013 the part cost $1300 brand new plus labor I don't know what to do and the seat belt is not working properly”

“In september, the drivers side second row seatbelt broke, the male connection. I called our local dealership and they told me it would cost approximately $750 to replace. We started using the third row instead. Just today, the female connection on the passenger side second row seat broke. Ford is telling me they won't replace the seatbelts. I cannot afford to replace them. And I don't think such an essential safety feature should be left to us for a vehicle less than 10 years old. Do I drive with my children unsecured and just have our family sue Ford when we are all dead?”

“We have had problems with our backseats' seatbelts not working properly for at least two years. They constantly get stuck, don't click in, don't retract, and more recently, plastics parts fell off. We have brought the car to coconut point Ford in estero, fl numerous times complaining of seatbelt issues. Last week, they told us they needed to replace two rear seatbelt mechanisms (for $870.06!). A day after the repair was done, we found three plastic parts to the seatbelts (see photo) on the seat. …”
