PASSENGER SIDE SEATBELT WILL NOT. WORK , CANNOT PULL OUT TO USE IT... THE REPAIR SHOP IS HAVING A HARD TIME FINDING. A RETRACTOR. MECHANISM....MY FAMILY CANNOT SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. RIGHT NOW

PASSENGER SEAT BELT FAILING EXTENDED AND LOCKED. UNUSABLE *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 FORD MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT BELTS MALFUNCTIONED AND WOULD NOT SECURE ANYONE SITTING IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT HE WOULD NEED TO PURCHASE REPLACEMENT SEAT BELTS FOR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 115,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

PASSENGER AND REAR SEAT BELTS STOPPED WORKING....CANNOT PULL THEM OUT. *TR

THE SEAT BELTS IN THE FRONT DO NOT OPERATE PROPERLY BECAUSE THEY HANG DOWN AND DO NOT RETRACT, MAKING IT DANGEROUS IF THE VEHICLE WERE TO BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. MANUFACTURER WILL CONTACTED BY CONSUMER.*AK THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE SEAT BELTS WERE HARD TO PULL OUT AND WILL NOT RETRACT ALL THE WAY BACK. THE SEAT BELTS FIT LOOSE ON THE BODY OF THE PERSON USING IT. *TC

THE REAR SEAT BELT RETRACTORS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. WHEN THE SEAT BELT IS PULLED OUT THE BELTS DO NOT RETRACT. *AK

CONSUMER STATED SEAT BELTS ON BOTH SIDES WERE DEFECTIVE. THEY WILL NOT RETRACT. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS, BUT NO ONE WANTED TO TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE OF THE LIABILITY ISSUES. *AK

DRIVER-SIDE SEAT BELT IS SEVERLY FRAYED/COMPROMISED. THE PORTION OF THE BELT THAT IS DAMAGED CAN BE SEEN WHEN THE BELT IS EXTENDED OUT AS IN USE (EXTENDED) AND LOOKING DOWN AT THE RETRACTOR ASSEMBLY. I BELIEVE THIS EXCESSIVE WEAR CONDITION IS PRODUCED BY NORMAL DRIVER MOVEMENTS THAT CAUSE THE BELT TO RUB AGAINST THE GUIDE LOCATED ON THE OUTBOARD BASE OF THE SEAT NEAR THE RETRACTOR ASSEMBLY. I CAN PROVIDE DIGITAL IMAGES OF THE PROBLEM, IF THAT IS HELPFUL TO YOU. [email protected]

BOTH SEAT BELT RETRACTORS HAVE BEGUN TO FAIL TO OPERATE. IT TAKES AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF COAXING TO CAUSE THE SEALT BELTS TO RETRACT, IF AT ALL. THE PASSENGER SIDE RETRACTOR IS THE WORSE OF THE TWO AND IS USED FAR, FAR LESS. THIS LEADS ME TO BELEIVE IT IS NOT A SIMPLE WEAR AND TEAR FROM USE ISSUE.

I OWN A 1998 FORD MUSTANG COUPE, EVER SINCE, I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE MY SEAT BELTS CONTINUED TO LOCK UP. THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT FINALLY GAVE UP AND IS NO LONGER USEFUL. ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2001 FORD MUSTANG COUPE, AND DEALING WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *JB

THE FRONT SEAT & SHOULDER BELTS WILL NOT STAY IN THE GUIDES PROVIDED FOR THEM. IT MAY BE THAT IN A FRONTAL COLLISION THEY WILL NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY. I HAVE SEEN OTHER MUSTANGS WITH A DIFFERENT STYLE OF GUIDES. THEY LOOK AS IF THEY MIGHT FUNCTION CORRECTLY.
