Example complaints

“I own a Mercury Montego 2005 premier edition, the left rear seat belt shoulder strap sometimes ratchets up super tight on the passenger causing them to have to remove it let it travel back in and then rebuckle it. I have not had it replaced at this time,because I hardly ever have passengers in the rear seat. But today I had to have my front driver side seat belt buckling assembly replaced as the whole thing ,covers fell off,and spring and tensioner failed to the point of not staying hooked together. In other words the whole buckle assembly failed and wouldn't stay latched. …”
