Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 1997 ford explorer awd 5.0 liter. the seat belt latch on the driver's side no longer holds the seat belt in place after i buckle up. in order to drive, i have to insert the seat belt into the latch on the passenger's side. when i do this the seat belt now crosses my neck, and i am very concerned. it also means i cannot safely drive the auto with a passenger because the driver's side seat belt won't work. on a normal latch, i can push down the red release button and can feel the spring action. on my driver's side, there is no spring tension on the red release button. *tr
