The seatbelt shoulder strap will lock and will not unlock unless you release the buckle. We came out one morning and had no power steering it is equipped with electronic power assist The dealer said that there were no recalls for this particular condition. I found out from a shop that I used to work for that there were. My wife cannot drive the vehicle in this condition via surgurey. Thanks for listenig.
The contact owns a 2008 Ford Escape. The contact stated that the seat belt pretensioner became stuck on every seat except the front passenger seat belt. Also, the contact mentioned that the air bag warning light continuously illuminated. The failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed but not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
I have a 2008 Ford Escape and I can put the seats down for storage and when I tried and lifted the passenger seat up behind the drivers, the seat belt retractor won't release and I cannot put the seat up. I have tried a can of air and tapping on the retractor and this won't release the seat belt so I can put the seat up.
I was out with my children and we got into the vehical to leave our destination and my child could not buckle her seat belt becaue it locked on her. Now the seat belt is so tight to the seat that it is about to cut through the interior.
