This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The driver side seatbelt disconnects randomly. This has happened while I was in park, driving and while reversing. This has occurred on city streets as well as freeway/highway. It has happened while I was turning left or right, making a U-turn as well as driving forward. It has also happened while I was attempting to change radio stations. As it stands every time I drive the truck the seatbelt will disconnect at least 3 times.
When buckling in the retractor failed. I am not able to have anyone in the passenger side of my truck now. I see a safety recall for the same year truck but the F150. I have an F250. All replacement belts I have found have had the same problem.
Ref:een19-47774 (to be fwd by mail) the front tank strap on the vehicle failed and the tank dropped until supported by skid plate. Some diesel fuel spilled in garage, creating fire hazard but was cleaned up w/O incident. I contacted diehl Ford in bellingham wa as no Ford dealer in juneau ak at that time. I ordered and they sent 2 straps (F72Z-9054-ba), bolts&nuts which I found out later were not authorized by safety recall 11S21! I contacted the local (temporary) Ford repair facility--evergreen motor works relative to this repair and they discovered the safety recall 11S21 and stated that Alaska vehicles were not covered by this recall.I cotacted Ford Motor Co. By email and got the same answer. As a senior electrical engineer I know this is total bs as Alaska has much worse weather conditions than any of the :South 48" states covered by safety recall 11S21!! stanley Ford is now the local Ford dealer but still could not fix my Ford F250 tank strap under the recall but could fix the safety recall 09S09 speed control mod! it should be also noted that the driver seat belt buckle failed about the same time!! Ford co. Did not seem interested in this problem. I replaced this immediately as I feel safety is very important! signed/ [xxx] sr.
