Description of the problem | Dt*: the contact stated the passive restraints stop at the corner of the door post and do not properly restrain the driver or passenger. There is a gap of six inches between the safety belts and door post. A replacement track for the safety belt will be obtained through a salvage yard to repair the vehicle. The contact, who is a mechanic, has seen many of the 1991 through 1996 escorts with the same problem. Because the passive restraint is no longer being manufactured, the contact feels the manufacturer should replace these passive restraints with regular safety belts. |
