Consumer Description

ELECTRIC SEATBELTS DO NOT RETRACT TO LOCKED POSITION WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. THEY STAY "JAMMED" IN THE OPEN POSITION, FORWARD BY THE DASHBOARD. THEREFORE, FRONT 3-POINT SAFETY BELTS NON-FUNCTIONAL. AMERICAN HONDA REPLACED MY FATHER'S WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED. CHRYSLER REPLACED MY NEIGHBOR'S WHEN HERS QUIT WORKING. DOES FORD HAVE SOME RESPONSIBILITY, HERE?. *AK
