problem #3

Nov 061997

Explorer

  • miles
Both rear seat belts jam/lock repeatedly and have since 11/97. I have been to dealerships 6 times to have them fixed. They have been replaced two times by two different dealerships, yet they continue to jam/lock and are unusable until they are fixed. Over the past year I have been able to unjam them myself without going to the dealership. I have two children (ages 6 and 8) I must have properly working seat belts. Over the summer the drivers side seat belt also has been jamming occassionally. I have talked with several other Explorer owners and they have the same problems with their belts as well. If they are locking up, how can they possibly work effectively in the event of an accident?
