2012 Ford Focus. Driver seatbelt got stuck. Could not get out of the car. Took over 15 minutes before I could finally get it to disengage. Now it wont engage. The metal tongue goes in but does not catch. The seatbelt warning continues even when I hold it inside the clasp. I am nervous and distracted now with the seatbelt not working. This for me is a serious safety concern.

When I turn on the interior heater, the selector switch that directs the air to windshield, panel, or floor, will not send heated air to the floor. It makes a very loud noise of air being forced through a tight opening, but the heat does not go to the floor and the heater is almost completely ineffective unless the fan speed is set to the highest setting.
