Description of the problem | Motorized seatbelt track on my 1995 ford escort lx failed. It locked into a position when door was closed , where the belt would cross my neck. I had to stop adbruptly on time and badly brused my neck. Ford says it will cost an excess of 500. 00$ to fix their design flaw. I feel this is dangerous and ford should do more about it.*ak |
