Narrative

MOTORIZED SEATBELT TRACK ON MY 1995 FORD ESCORT LX FAILED. IT LOCKED INTO A POSITION WHEN DOOR WAS CLOSED , WHERE THE BELT WOULD CROSS MY NECK. I HAD TO STOP ADBRUPTLY ON TIME AND BADLY BRUSED MY NECK. FORD SAYS IT WILL COST AN EXCESS OF 500. 00$ TO FIX THEIR DESIGN FLAW. I FEEL THIS IS DANGEROUS AND FORD SHOULD DO MORE ABOUT IT.*AK
