Description of the problem | My automatic seatbelt does not work. I took it in to have it fixed and they said the whole thing needs to be replaced at a cost of over $700. 00. They could not even fix the seatbelt because ford has the part on backorder and couldn't even tell them when the part would come in. I took this to mean many ford escort wagons have this problem. Also, the part you attach the seatbelt to is positioned at the front so i can't even manually put my seatbelt on. I pray each day i drive the car that i don't get into an accident. |
