Consumer Description

I HAVE A 1999 FORD TAURUS STATION WAGON. IN 2003 THE RLEFT REAR SEAT BELT WOULD SOMETIMES GET STUCK AND NOT RETRACT. I WOULD HAVE TO FEED THE BELT BACK INTO THE MECHANISM IN ORDER FOR THE BELT TO FINALLY WORK. AFTER DOING THIS FOR SOME TIME, I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER IN DECEMBER, 2003 AND PAID TO HAVE THE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY REPLACED. IN 2006, I AGAIN HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE LEFT AND RIGHT REAR SEAT BELTS AND THE LEFT FRONT SEAT BELT. I AGAIN TOOK THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALER IN DECEMBER 2006 AND HAD ALL THREE OF THE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES REPLACED. AT THE TIME I ASKED THE PERSON AT THE DEALER IF THERE WAS A RECALL OR ANYTHING ON THE SEAT BELTS SINCE THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME IN 3 YEARS THAT I HAD THE PROBLEM. THEY PRETTY MUCH IGNORED MY QUESTION. NOW I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON SEAT BELT MECHANISMS AND OWNERS WERE NOTIFIED BEGINNING IN 1999. WE DID NOT PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE UNTIL 2001. *TR
