Complaint
1995
SEAT BELTS:FRONT:WEBBING
MY AUTOMATIC SEATBELT DOES NOT WORK. I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT FIXED AND THEY SAID THE WHOLE THING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $700.00. THEY COULD NOT EVEN FIX THE SEATBELT BECAUSE FORD HAS THE PART ON BACKORDER AND COULDN'T EVEN TELL THEM WHEN THE PART WOULD COME IN. I TOOK THIS TO MEAN MANY FORD ESCORT WAGONS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. ALSO, THE PART YOU ATTACH THE SEATBELT TO IS POSITIONED AT THE FRONT SO I CAN'T EVEN MANUALLY PUT MY SEATBELT ON. I PRAY EACH DAY I DRIVE THE CAR THAT I DON'T GET INTO AN ACCIDENT.
