Hi everyone,
So lately I have noticed that my seatbelt pre tensioners do not retract anywhere as quickly as one would expect. I took it to my local dealer and showed them the problem and they have ordered me a new one. They also said to alert the NHTSA as well as ford as this is a serious safety concern.
Anyone else having this problem. Below is what I submitted to the NHTSA
describing the problem:
Seat Belt Tensioner: Seat belt tensioner is not retaining tension. Inordinate amount of slack when taking off belt coupled with slow retraction. Also have noticed lack of tension during sudden stopping. I have spoken with my local dealer and showed them the problem. The agreed with my assessment and have ordered a new pre-tensioner for me. They also noted a similar problem with the passenger seat-belt as well. I am asking the NHTSA to contact Ford about this problem as other makes and models could also be affected.
I also contacted Ford as well and let them know about this serious safety hazard.
This is just a heads up for everyone.
