SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
THE DRIVERS SIDE SHOULDER HARNESS HAS A RECALL ON IT THROUGH NHTSA. IT HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE, AND HAS FAILED AGAIN. IT WAS REPAIRED AT A FORD AUTHORIZED DEALER WITH FORD FACTORY PARTS. CURRENTLY, THE SHOULDER HARNESS IS FROZEN AND IF THE SHOULDER HARNESS IS WORN AT THE POSITION THAT THE TRACK IS FROZEN, IT HITS ME RIGHT AT MY THROAT AND IF I AM INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, MY THROAT WOULD BE CUT. FORD HAS BEEN NOTIFIED ABOUT THE PROBEM SEVERAL TIMES AND INFORMED ME THAT THEY FIXED IT ONCE AND THAT WAS ALL TJHAEY WERE REQUIRED TO DO AND THAT WAS THERE FINAL POSITION. I EXPLAINED THAT NHTSA HAD TOLD ME THAT IF THE SAME PROBLEM HAD REOCCURRED WITH THE SAME COMPONET AND THAT THE COMPONET INVOLVED SAFETY, THAT FORD WAS REQUIRED UNDER THAT RECALL ORDER TO FIX IT AS LONG AS THE ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT PART WAS A FORD FACTORY PART INSTALLED AT A FACTORY DEALER. I ALSO EXPLAINED TO FORD THAT NHTSA HAD THREE RECALL NOTICES ON THE SHOULGER HARNESSES WITH THREE DIFFERENT CAMPAIGN NUMBERS ASSIGNED TO IT BUT THAT THE MANUFACTURER ONLT HAD TWO SEPERATE RECALL NUMBERS ASSIGNED TO THEM. THE FIRST RECALL NOTICE AND THE SECOND ONE BOTH HAVE THE SAME MANUFACTURE ID NIMBER. HELP!
