“Regarding the driver seat belt when opening the car door, the motor belt runs but the seat belt stays in place instead of retracting to allow me in the car seat. Once the lap belt is attached, the panel light flashes constantly that the seatbelt is not working. The retractor only goes as far as the upper left corner of the door. The motor runs but it will not allow the retractor to complete its full ascending and descending position. When I took the car to american Ford in glendive, mt - I was told the part and labor would be in excess of $300. …”

“I really don't know the engine size or cylinders for sure. The driver's side motor shoulder belt has not worked for a time before I was given the car in november, l997. It is stuck in a position midway in the track. It was not operating properly and then stopped completely. This is a problem equipment on this car and I need to know what I can do about it. I am a low-income senior living on social security and would like this belt to be operational but can't afford to fix it on my income. Please let me hear from you.”

“My automatic seatbelt went out. Had new one installed ($375.00) less then 2 months later had another one installed (it was found the first replacement was installed incorrectly) now that one is not working which was installed feb. 1999.

I put on over 50 miles a day driving to work so the 12,000 miles is out (which I don't understand what has to do with my seat belt functioning) I cannot afford to keep getting it fixed . Now I have no functioning seatbelt on the drivers side. …”

“The driver side automatic shoulder harness has failed 3 times in this vehicle. At around $150 each time it is getting quite expensive. I have contacted Ford motor co. And they said they would turn in my complaint to the proper department. The question I have is that, Ford recalled the probe for the same problem but not the tempos. Also I have looked locally and across the nation for replacement restraints at wrecking yards and they have all told me that when a Tempo (2 door) comes in that is one of the first things to go. So this is an ongoing problem and should be recalled. …”
