Ford replaced under extended warranty (billed extended warranty coverage company for part and labor) - i believe this part should have been covered by ford directly since it has to do with driver safety. Asked about this part being…

Bought used, when i got it with only 54000 miles, one seat belt would go into the receiver but not clip in or stay in. A week after i bought it the seat belt on the other bucket seat all of a sudden jammed and the seat belt will not go in at all... Could have been very dangerous if they had failed while driving.

This happens unbeknownst to the passenger who would not note…
