1996 Mercury Villager Seat belts Problems

“I purchased a used van, there seem to be several recalls either not idenitfied or not know about, either way they were not fixed. I have been unable to fine a dealer whom will acknowledge the recalls and repair them.”

“The shoulder belts cut across my throat. I cannot locate an extension because the seatbelt connector is proprietary and the car manufacturer has been unable to provide a solution. I think I need an extension, to enable the shoulder belt to cross the center of my chest and across my shoulder. However due to the proprietary seat belt latch, I cannot locate a 3rd party to provide a solution. I'm concerned that in a minor accident where a properly-fitting seat belt would protect me from injury, I may receive a severe or fatal neck injury instead. …”

“Shoulder belt on passenger 's side in the middle row of seats will not pull out so that a passenger can be restrained. Dealership informed consumer that part was no longer covered under warranty, and they were not going to touch it.”

“Seat belt retractor does not retract properly. Current belt rachet into position, and with bouncing caused by uneven roads, the belts ratchet even tighter, until child or other passengers have trouble breathing.”

“While child was sitting in vehicle, shoulder belt got caught around child's neck, and the consumer had to cut the shoulder seat belt in order to remove shoulder belt from around the child neck.”
