The seat belts are fraying at the stitching and the female end sometimes doesn’t want to let you put seat belts in or after there in they pop out for no reason

Seatbelt failed during collision did not lock fully extended and did not retract brakes did not engage right away

Airbag sensor is on. Took to mechanic and the wire that runs thru latch has broken apart. Need to replace latch as well as wiring

One of the rear seat belts will lock and not release. After you unlatch it, it doesn’t retract properly. I feel this is unsafe and should be fixed by the manufacturer.

I purchased the vehicle used from a local Mercedes dealership (April 2018) with multiple open recalls. One of the recalls was 16S42. On May 2, 2018, the vehicle was brought to a local Ford dealer where they "corrected" the open recalls. In February 2020, my wife was involved in a motor vehicle accident on the interstate. There was a construction zone that brought traffic to a stop and she was rear-ended by an SUV at speeds between 45-60 MPH totaling the vehicle while it was at a stop. She was the only occupant and was wearing her seatbelt at the time of the cash. The airbags did not deploy and the driver seatbelt did not lock causing her head to strike the steering wheel. She didn't remember if she lost consciousness or not, however, she was later diagnosed with a concussion. The vehicle has since been totaled and was taken into possession by the insurance company. I am unaware of any inspection of the seatbelt that was performed after the crash. I do possess photographs of the vehicle. There were no warning lights active prior to the crash.

The right front passenger seat belt locks when vehicle is not running or in parked preventing use. Cannot secure passenger before driving. Often happens in warmer weather.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked and attempting to place the rear driver’s side and center seat in the upright position, the seats failed to move. The contact removed the bottom half of the seat bracket to get the seat in the upright position. The contact was however unable to reconnect the seat belt back in the correct position. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximate 70,000.

THE RECALL WAS ISSUED IN 2016, IT'S BEEN ALMOST TWO YEARS AND I HAVE RECEIVED NO DOCUMENTATION FROM FORD ABOUT THIS RECALL. I NOW HAVE A RECALL ON THE STEERING WHEEL THAT INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD OF A CRASH COMBINED WITH SEATBELTS THAT MIGHT NOT ADEQUATELY RESTRAIN ME AND/OR PASSENGER IN THE CRASH. SOUNDS LIKE A PRETTY AWFUL COMBO. THE RECALL STATES THAT NO FIX IS YET AVAILABLE, BUT IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 2 YEARS. RECALL NUMBER IS 16S42

I WAS MADE AWARE OF A RECALL INVOLVING THE SEATBELTS ON MY 2014 FORD FUSION BACK IN 2016. I'VE INQUIRED MULTIPLE TIMES ABOUT HAVING IT FIXED AND EACH TIME FORD HAS TOLD ME THEY DON'T HAVE A FIX. IT HAS BEEN 2 YEARS NOW. I FEEL UNSAFE TRAVELING IN THE CAR AND HAVING PASSENGERS RIDE IN MY CAR. IT SEEMS LIKE 2 YEARS IS A LONG TIME TO HAVE A RECALL WHERE YOUR SEATBELTS COULD FAIL OPEN THIS LONG WITHOUT A REMEDY IS FRIGHTENING AND IRRESPONSIBLE. I HOPE I AM NOT INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND THEY FAIL TO RESTRAIN MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE.

THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED WITH FORD CASE NUMBER: 12186126. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE REAR, MIDDLE SEAT BELT LOCKED WHILE THE SEAT WAS DOWN, TENSIONING THE BELT BEYOND THE POINT WHERE THE SEAT CAN BE USED. THE BELT CANNOT BE LOOSENED ENOUGH TO ALLOW THE SEAT BACK TO BE LIFTED INTO THE UPRIGHT POSITION AND OBVIOUSLY CANNOT BE USED TO RESTRAIN A PASSENGER. TENSION HAD TO BE RELEASED FROM THE BOTTOM SECURING BRACKET IN ORDER TO LIFT THE SEAT BACK SO THAT A PASSENGER CAN SIT IN THE WINDOW SEAT. AT THAT POINT THE SEAT BELT WAS LOCKED WITH THE SEAT UP AND THE MIDDLE SEAT BELT CANNOT BE RELEASED TO BE USED.

I RECEIVED NOTICE OF A RECALL IN NOVEMBER 2016 INVOLVING MY SEATBELTS BEING UNABLE TO PROPERLY RESTRAIN ME DURING AN ACCIDENT. IT IS STILL NOTATED THAT FORD HASN'T FOUND A REMEDY TO THE PROBLEM. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE BEEN PATIENT CONSIDERING MY LIFE MAY BE ON THE LINE OVER THIS BUT I WOULD LIKE SOMETHING TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. CONSIDERING I DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 100 MILES PER DAY ON A COMMUTE TO WORK, I WOULD LIKE TO FEEL SAFE DOING IT AND KNOWING THAT MY SEATBELT MAY NOT RESTRAIN ME IS A HUGE PROBLEM. CAN YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO WHY THEY AREN'T FIXING THIS MAJOR ISSUE IN A TIMELY MANNER. THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENT TO DATE BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY IF ONE WAS TO OCCUR.

I HAVE NOW HAD TO REPLACE MY BACKSEAT SEAT BELTS 3 TIMES, TWICE ON THE PASSENGER BACKSEAT AND ONCE ON THE DRIVER BACKSEAT. MIND YOU THESE ARE SEAT BELTS THAT DO NOT GET LATCHED AND UNLATCHED SEVERAL TIMES A DAY LIKE THE DRIVER SEAT, BUT THESE SEAT BELTS STAY LATCHED WITH A CAR SEAT SO THEY SHOULD NOT BE GETTING WORE OUT SO QUICK. ALSO THESE BELTS BROKE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, NO PRESSURE ON THEM. THIS IS EXTREMELY SCARY FOR ME ESPECIALLY SINCE MY TWO CHILDREN RIDE IN THESE SEATS DAILY AND THE SEAT BELTS BROKEN WITH OUT ANY PRESSURE. WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IF I GET REAR ENDED BY SOMEONE GOING 50 MPH???? I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY ONLY WANTED TO DO 2 THINGS: CONTINUE TO REPLACE THE SEAT BELTS AS THE BREAK...REALLY, NEXT TIME IT COULD BE BROKE FROM A WRECK!! THE OTHER OPTION WAS TO TRADE MY CAR IN. FIRST OFF THEY DID NOT OFFERED ME NOWHERE NEAR WHAT I WOULD NEED, SECONDLY AND MOST IMPORTANT IF I TRADED IT IN I CAN ALMOST GUARANTEE THAT THEY WOULD TURN AROUND AND SELL IT TO SOMEONE ELSE. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL VEHICLES FROM FORD HECK MY HUSBAND USED TO WORK THERE, BUT I WAS EXTREMELY SURPRISED AND DISAPPOINTED IN THE LACK OF CARE OR WORRY FOR MY FAMILIES SAFETY IN THIS MATTER.

THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT WILL RETRACT AND LOCK FOR NO REASON UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. ATTEMPTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING CONSISTS OF REMOVING THE SEAT BELT LETTING IT RETRACT ALL THE WAY UP THEN TRY TO BUCKLE IT BACK IN PLACE. THE LAST TIME ABOUT A WEEK AGO THE REMEDY DID NOT WORK, AND THE SEAT BELT REMAINED LOCK IN THE RETRACTED POSITION AND WOULD NOT RELEASE. THIS FORCED MY WIFE TO DRIVE HOME WITHOUT A SEAT BELT.

INSIDE THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT BROKE. A PIECE OF PLASTIC AND SPRING CAME OUT, IT WAS LIKE IT CAUGHT ON SOMETHING AND JUST FELL OUT. IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS PULLING THE HARNESS OUT OF THE LATCH. VERY LITTLE PRESSURE WAS ON IT WHEN IT BROKE. IT APPEARS TO BE A HORRIBLY BAD DESIGN.

I JUST LEASED A 2014 FORD FUSION TITANIUM AND AFTER DRIVING A FEW DAYS, I REALIZED THAT THE SEAT BELT IS ALWAYS RUNNING ON MY NECK (DRIVER'S NECK) - NO MATTER WHAT ADJUSTMENT IS SET FOR THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND / OR FOR THE SEAT BELT FIXTURE, THE BELT IS ALWAYS RUNNING OVER MY NECK AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE WITH THIS DRIVING CONDITION. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER (TOM HOLZER FORD IN NOVI - MI) AND THE PROBLEM WAS ACKNOWLEDGE BY THE SERVICE MANAGER - "THIS IS THE WAY THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT WE CAN DO ABOUT IT" HE SAID. I ALSO CONTACTED THE FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE (COMPLAINT # [XXX]), BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH THE SEAT BELT ON MY NECK, AND FORD ALSO TOLD ME THAT CANNOT DO ANYTHING. BOTTOM-LINE: IT SEEMS THAT THE FORD FUSION 2014 HAS A SERIOUS DESIGN PROBLEM IN REGARDS TO THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT POSITIONING, THAT IS CREATING AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION, AND FORD IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
