We hae a 2000 Ford F350 that was recently in an accident and the body shop found that it had prior damage. We were never notified by the dealership that this vehicle had prior damage. The prior damage makes the vehicle unsafe to drive as it has the wrong cab on it and the wrong cab has been welded on, as you can see the welding marks underneath the truck, and also the seat belts have been bolted in and not drilled in, but their are many drilled holes in the bottom of the truck cab. The body shop feels that the truck is unsafe to drive as you never know when the welding could collapse. We have pictures of the previous damage along with two witnesses. We have notified mid states Ford and also Ford Motor Company with a long list of things that have happened since June 9th, 2003. Mid states Ford has not contacted us since dennis contacted them on July 8th and they said they would get right back to us. Ford Motor Company has not called us back since our last note to them last week. We just want some answers before something else happens. We also would like some resolutions to this problem.

When the rear passenger seat belts are in use, they would tighten up for no reason. Would have no warning when this would happen. The locking mechanism on the seat would fail to release the belt. Would have cut the belt to release individual. Brakes were used at time of tightening incident. Took vehicle to dealer & mechanic ordered a new belt system for rear of vehicle.
