The rear center seat is supposed to be the safest place for a child. Unfortunatly that is not the case when the rear center seat belt fails. Thankfully this incident happened when our car was safely parked in our driveway. My husband had noticed the car seat was loose (which in itself is a dangerous situation created by this inproperly functioning seatbelt buckle) & he tried to tighten the belt. The buckle fell to pieces all over my back seat. It is going to cost me nearly $100 to repair this faulty seatbelt. A small price for keeping my son safe (until this breaks as well).... but this is going to cost Ford even more if some unsuspecting family is injured by the very device that claims to save lives.

Seat belt anchor is installed incorrectly. The only way the restraints can be latched is if twisted the restraint across to the buckle. Owner has contacted the manufacturer, and is waiting for a representative to inspect the vehicle. The steering becomes hard when brakes are applied. The consumer states that the vehicle was prepped, inspected and sold to him with defective seat belt in total disregard for his safety.
