Pulling up to a stop light and we heard an explosion, my wife immediately said something hit her , we smelled burning smell and smoke. My wife has a large bruise from the seatbelt and the seatbelt no longer works

My wife was driving her 2019 Expedition alone approximately 50 MPH and unexpectedly heard what she described as a gunshot and the seatbelt instantly tightened against her. There was no warranted reason for this incident. There was no collision, not even a jolt to the vehicle such as a pothole or the like. This is the second time occurrence to this vehicle. The front Passenger side seatbelt did this 7 months ago with no one seated there. The airbag light has been on since the first incident. Now the Driver's seatbelt is stuck in that position, will not retract or adjust at all. We will be bringing the vehicle in to a dealer to access issue.

My seatbelt light came on. I took it to the dealership with 102,000 miles, and they said it was not covered under Ford's warranty (8 years or 80,000 miles) and also not covered under my extended warranty (up to 120,000 miles). I planned to purchase the part and have my husband repair it. Before I was able to repair it, the pretensioner deployed while I was driving it. It made a loud noise and locked the driver's seat belt, which is no longer usable. I've owned several vehicles, some of which I've driven over 200,000 miles (Hyundai). I find it odd that Ford won't repair this. Surely the seat belt system has to last longer than 80,000 miles, especially on a $60,000+ vehicle. I would be upset if I purchased a new Expedition for $95,000 and the seat belts didn't last 100,000. Knowing that this is an issue with this year, make and model, why wouldn't Ford fix this when I brought it in? Is Ford waiting for more incidents to happen before taking action? This could

My husband was driving and I was in the passenger seat we were driving slow because we were coming to a stop at a red light. All of a sudden we hear a loud sound like a shotgun went off in the car. It felt like something hit my chest hard and like a puff of air. My seat belt all of a sudden was squeezing me. Then it smelled like gun powder. My husband and I were stunned and couldn't understand what had just happened. He thought someone shot at us or something exploded under the car. I was in so much pain I unlocked the seatbelt and I opened my door in the middle of all the traffic stopped and I got out. I felt like I was going to faint. My husband was asking if I was bleeding anywhere. I was looking and saying no but I couldn't understand what just happened. I starting crying and got in the back seat. My husband asked if I wanted to go to the hospital and I said and tell them what! They will think I am crazy. Went to my daughters crying the whole way. She googled and ended up finding a problem with the seat belts. I then started looking as well and came across this man that was on a Ford forum and explained the exact same thing happened to him and his wife. I am so glad we were not going any faster because I don't know how we would have not had an accident. I am now scared of my car and using seatbelts. I called the dealer today and I have an appointment for Monday to get it all looked at. Very disturbing on so many levels.

The seatbelt failed just like it is stated in the recall. Recall #24S06. The dealer is stating they have no fix for this problem and charging $1000 to put the same faulty seatbelt back in the car.

I reported this incident once already and since then 2 more 2019 For Expedition had the exact same issue. The seatbelt tensioner charge blew up for no reason while vehicle was stopped and running. This is a very dangerous problem as I almost heart attack, I thought I was shot. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS AND DON'T WASH IT UNDER THE RUG. TO THIS DAY I'M AFRAID OF DRIVING MY EXPEDITION FO FEAR OF IT HAPPENING AGAIN.

Got into the car, and started it before I put my seatbelt on the seat belt tensioner exploded on just the drivers side. Now the seatbelt will not release.

I was getting into my car to drive out of my drive way. Put on my seatbelt(driver side). Started to put it in drive then I heard a loud pop, then it felt like something hit my chest.
