problem #5

Jul 062004

Windstar

  • Automatic transmission
  • 68,000 miles
The rear passenger outside seat belt webbing shredded and split in half. The passengers do not have seat belts that can be worn for safety. The 4 seat belts in the back have shredded (2 captains chair and 3rd seat) in back-outside ones. The device that clips in seems to the problem. The dealership would not repair the seat belts because the vehicle was no longer under warranty and there were no recalls.
