Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Driver's side eletronic seatbelt does not automaticially lock/unlock. i have to tug on it to start the motor. works better in warm climate. called freedom ford in hampton, virginia and was told not covered. vehicle had 50k miles on it then. two years later, belt getting worse, and now i drive it w/out belt in clip due to track not wanting to slide belt back to restrain. i contacted ford and they told me that it was not covered, and that i would have to pay for this to be fixed. i got a $350 estimate to fix it. didn't know you had to pay for safety... very disappointed in the customer service. *ak
