Escape 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 36,500 miles
Starting approx. December 20, 2007 the drivers side seat belt began to "stick". when the driver tries to unbuckle the seatbelt it will not unbuckle after the first, second or sometimes third attempt. This could be a potential threat to the driver in the event the driver must unbuckle quickly.
