Seat Belts
I recently purchased this vehicle and noticed the next day that the passenger seat belt will neither retract or extend to a usable length . Online i have noticed numerous similar complaints. My local dealer wants $287.00 plus labor of approximately 2 hours to repair and from what i'm seeing there is no guarantee it will be fixed. *tr

Driver side seat belt does not retract on its own. You have to manually mess with it to get it to retract. Sometimes it has a difficult time of pulling it out to buckle. Although still operable, i don't believe this is safe. *tr

The seat belts in the front will not retract. Went to the junk yard and every car i found had the same problem. I don't understand why they have not recalled them. Your oldest seat belts on other cars still work. So why wouldn't these still work?? It is a big safety problem because people can't afford to buy new ones. *tr

Passenger side front seat belt continually locks up. Seatbelt is completely inoperative right now and will not retract or come out. Asked ford about the voluntary recall i had seen elsewhere and was told that there was none and parts were $300 to fix and two hours of labor to install and would carry a 12 month/12,000 mile warranty. Told them that seat belts were a safety issue that they needed to look at. Received a…

Passenger seat belt started sticking and being hard to pull out in 2005, i took it back to dealership they stated it was ok, i hardly used that passenger seatbelt because i usually drive alone. In 2009 it got stuck in the holder and i could not pull it out, at that point the ford dealership wanted over $300.00 to replace their already defected seatbelt. I checked junkyards in three different states and all the 2003…

My passenger seat belt will not come out at all. The belt is not long enough for anyone to sit in. Plus my driver side will not go back and always slams in my car door. I see multiple issues with 2003 mustangs online everywhere and ford told me its my problem. I am concerned about the safety too with this product. How can ford be held responsible for such faulty product and does it take an accident or death to fix…

Both the front seatbelts will not retract, without considerable effort. This results in driving with the belt very slack over the chest and lap. I'm very concerned that if i am involved in an accident, this slack will permit injury. I have looked over your database of customer complaints, and this exact defect has been documented time after time, with no accountability by ford motor co.. I know your "standard…
