Consumer Description

2003 MERCURY SABLE WAGON -- THE SEAT BELTS IN THE MIDDLE SEAT OF THE CAR NO LONGER RETRACT. THEY HANG LOOSELY AND WOULD CERTAINLY BE A GRAVE DANGER TO ANY PASSENGER SHOULD THE CAR EXPERIENCE A CRASH OR ROLLOVER. THEY HAVE BEEN REPAIRED BY THE DEALER ALREADY, BUT NOW THE DEALER RECOMMENDS REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE RETRACTION MECHANISM. SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON AND VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM IN MERCURY SABLES AND TAURUS WAGONS FROM WHAT I'VE READ. HEY FORD, HOPE YOU GIVE A [XXX] ABOUT YOUR PRODUCTS AND CUSTOMERS ENOUGH TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS! *TR INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
