I bought this Ford Ranger as a used car about a month and a half ago. The seat belt will not latch into buckle. I am using the passengers side buckle for now. I am afraid I will strangle myself in case of an accident. I just want a replacement part and need to know if this part was recalled so I can go to the dealership and have them fix it.

Safety belts "roll" - when using the seat belts in my Ranger, the material for the belts is so soft they roll inside the guide by my shoulder causing the seat belt to be twisted. It takes adjustment to straighten the belt and I don't know if it would or would not cause any problems during an accident. It seems to me the belt should always be straight for max support during an accident.
