The Drivers side seat belt gets stuck and is impossible to get out. It started out intermitten but has now gotten to the point where we have to driver without a seatbelt as it will not come out no matter what you do. This is a huge safety hazard. I am now getting a quote to get this fixed.

I noticed that the the drivers seat belt will not retrack and is unable to be used when it's hot outside, i.e. above 80 degrees or sot! It gets stuck and and I am unable to pull it out for proper use. This is a major hazard and it is required by law to be in use in my state of Michigan. It has not been inspected but through online research, I unfortunately discovered that this is a common problem for this vehicle. There weren't any warning signs prior to this seatbelt failure. Thank you.

The seat belts in my truck especially the front driver seat does not come out for me to pull at all. Sometimes I have to drive without it. It only works about 4xs out of the week. It's very hard to pull and stops too short to fit around

Rear Seat belt is wearing through at an a location close to a jagged edge of a trim cover. The belt is rarely used so the wear is not expected. The service technicians gave us several justifications but finally agreed that their reasoning was likely invalid. They contacted Ford for a service warrantee justification because the repair cost is $700 (seems high). Ford is refusing to pay to repair the belt. The attached pics show the problem and we are concerned that this could be a chronic issue that someone may not notice. We would like to know if there is a process to get assistance with the repair cost.

Malfunctioning drivers seat belt that won-??t extended consistently or once bucked it will inadvertently lock while leaning forward and then lock in jerky/slipping movements. The seatbelt sometimes can not even unlock and therefore cannot be used in the driver seat, putting the driver at risk in collision. The Ford service department would not recognize the problem until out of new car warranty. They have now diagnosed the problem and the new part is not available, putting the driver in a hazardous risk scenario

Every 3rd or forth time bucking the drivers seat belt it will jam and lock prohibiting wearing the belt. To release you must continually pull belt until it stops (about 12" or so at a time) release it slightly and try to pull out more webbing. Other times it will release fully working normally. It happened one or twice about 8 months a go but the service writer at the dealer had a tech work on it and clear it. However lately it is happing frequently and will be taking to dealer this week.

The drivers seat belt locks when trying to extend across the my body. So sometimes it works and sometimes it will not release. I live in Illinois where seat belt are mandatory yet there are times that I'm unable to use the safety item "SEAT BELT". I took the vehicle to Auffenberg Ford in O'Fallon Illinois this morning. I was told that the parts to fix it are on back order and where not sure when the parts might arrive if ever. I asked, days, weeks, months, years, or in my life time. They where still unable to give me an estimate. They also stated that there where several other vehicles that have the same problem and they o not have any idea if or when they might be fixed. So they keep selling them knowing that there is problem. Ok so if I'm forced to use a vehicle that is not safe without any recourse who is responsible? This needs to stop before someone is seriously hurt or killed.

Driver's side seatbelt does not lock properly. It will engage then slip, the locking feature will do this both before the vehicle is on and after driving it. Occurs when the vehicle gets hot, surrounding air temperature at 80 degrees F or above. I have taken the vehicle to a Ford dealer and they have confirmed it happens to that seatbelt. The vehicle should not be driven if the seatbelt doesn't do its job properly, the risk of injury is too great. There have been no indicators that the seat belt was malfunctioning other than using the seatbelt.

The driver's side seat belt may be faulty. It takes several attempts to pull the seatbelt into place. It usually takes several tries to fasten the seatbelt. I am concerned this may be a safety issue. This has been happening for 2 weeks now.
