After driving the vehicle for 14,000 miles I was traveling out of state when my wife and I discovered that the passenger seat belt was not anchored to the floor. When we arrived home there was a recall notification in our mail. I immediately went to Serramonte Ford in Colma, CA and scheduled the required inspection for November 1. They assured me that any necessary repair would be done at that time. Later that day they called and told me that I needed a new part but they were required to order it from a special source because it was a recall item. (What)! They called two weeks later and advised that the part arrived and I made an appointment for November 16 and dropped the vehicle off. Later that day they called and told me that they needed a gasket so the repair couldn-??t be done. I picked up the vehicle and they told me they would call me to reschedule the repair. It is now January 2022 and I have been driving this vehicle for eleven months without a seatbelt. They can-??t tell me when to expect the repair.

I was pulling into my spot at work and the power steering assist light and pre collision assist lights cam on along with advance trac. At this point I had no power steering. Luckily I was basically stopped. I cycled the key on and off twice and it finally went back to normal. Then later that same day I started the truck up and proceeded to leave from work and the seatbelt restraint light, abs system, and tpms stopped working and I was notified of the faults via ford pass. The lights then went away right after. I have a service apt 9/29 at the dealer to see what is going on but I-??d like to get this documented in case it becomes a recurring issue. Thanks
