Was Vehicle Towed: -	Description of the Complaints: I recently purchased a new ford 500 limited. this vehicle has a problem that i feel is a serious safety issue to children. the seat belts in the rear are positioned in such a manner as to cross children's necks. the seat belts hit our 9 year old granddaughter, who is tall for her age, on her neck and we also have a 6 year old grandson who is very tall and the belt rides his kneck even with him in a boster seat. this car needs to be equiped with "comfort guides" like the ones found in gm cars. it is not safe for small adults or children who no longer need car seats to ride in the back of this vehicle. i believe the problem should be retrofitted by ford at their expense.
