    Seat Belts

    On multiple occasions the driver's side seat belt has randomly unbuckled itself for no apparent reason. If an accident were to occur the seat belt may not be considered a reliable restraint which could result in serious injury or death. After multiple complaints from several consumers this safety device should be investigated. *tr

    Seat Belts

    The seat belt randomly comes unfastened. At first i thought i wasn't buckling it properly but have since begun yanking on it to make sure it was buckled each time i drive it. It just releases on its own, whether i am going 10-20 miles per hour or freeway speed. It is happening more often, sometimes several times each trip. *tr

    Seat Belts

    While driving down the road my wifes seatbelt became unbuckled. Then, on 2/27/2013 when i put my vehicle into reverse, my seatbelt came unbuckled. For both seats to become unbuckled with no external influence convinces me we are not safe in our 2002 ford expedition. *tr

    Seat Belts

    We were rear ended while sitting at a redlight. The impact was hard enough to launch the 6000 lb expedition 20-30 feet into the intersection. 2 out of 5 seat belts opened up and those 2 occupants went flying around in the car. Thank god it was not a head on collision. I never retested or checked the seatbelts and the vehicle was totaled and sent to a salvage yard in nc by travelers insurance. Injuries were whip…

    Drivers seatbelt unlatches randomly. It occurs at least once a day. I have done nothing at this point. The dealer said it would cost 150 to fix on my own. The 2001 model has a recall on this and they are fixing those for free. *tr

    Seat belt locking latch will release while driving. This is a random condition. The dealer could not reproduce the event in the shop and said nothing was wrong. This problem has progressively gotten worse. I will have to fix the problem since i am out of warranty now, but this is a ford problem i have seen noted on other complaints submitted. *nm
