“Seat belt problem. 2004 Ford Ranger 2 wheel drive. V-6, ext cab, the seat belt alarm does not work after it is driven a few hundred feet, can un-buckle belt with no indication it is un-buckled, driver and passenger belt, verified this problem with another Ranger at the dealer, Ford mt co knows of this problem because I notified them and receiver a phone call about this problem, this may be a systemic problem with 04 rangers and is safety related.”
