| The seat belts on my 2002 mustang gt broke, this has been an ongoing problem as i've asked others about theirs. the ratchet mechanism stops working and / or the seat belts become entangled severely in the mechanism and fail to work anymore, resulting in replacing the ratcheting mechanism and seat belt. i brought my car to a ford service center to see if they offered a fix and was told they do not and that my warranty was expired. this is a safety concern especially when so many mustang owners have the same problem. *jb | |||

| Front seat belt retractors don't work most of the time resulting in loose fit. seatbelt eventually retracts after driving for a period of time. dealer offered to install some sort of kit for a hefty price. it seems this may be a common complaint on ford vehicles. this important safety feature should not fail during the life of the vehicle. | |||
