Description of the problem	1st concern: my 2015 ford explorer is at 84,000 miles. I have captain (bucket) seats for the 2nd row. About 6 months ago, my son couldn't get out his seat belt. The red button wouldn't release and it was tight around his waist, eventually i was able to make enough room from him to slide under the lap belt. The estimate i received 3 weeks ago was $230 not covered under warranty. I have never had to replace a seat belt. 2nd concern: this past weekend traveling 70 mph on a highway i heard flapping outside the front drivers window the panel was shaking for about 30 seconds then flew off. Before i could safely stop the rubber that would have been underneath the panel came loose and started hitting the driver's side window. I inspected the passengers side and it has also lifted and will come off soon. I haven't had an opportunity to get an estimate but i feel as these are issues that should be happening. Both in my opinion are safety concerns, nothing should be flying off the car and seat belts should work.
