| Passenger seat belt had stuck in the partially retracted position. it won't come out and it won't go back. it had given some problems before, but i think they were related to pulling it out too far and the child adjustment feature kept tightening the belt. i have not been able to get it to come loose, nor have i had the time to go to the dealer. *nm | |||

| This is regarding our rear seatbelts failing on our 2004 ford f-150 1. my wife putting our car seats back in the truck 2. two seatbelts fell apart, it appears as though a nut holding them came loose 3. ford will not fix this under any warranty since i'm outside my warranty time. in my mind this should be a recall or a lifetime warranty. both of these seatbelts were connected to 2 of our baby seats; at any time we could have simply hit the brakes and they both would have come loose. i'm surprised they want to wait until an accident occurs to make it a recall. *tr | |||
