The srs airbag light was blinking-the code said that the seatbelt connector had failed-they had to remove and replace the seatbelt connectors costing us 493.13, and this is a safety issue that ford should cover under a warranty or safety recall.

1. The rear passenger seat belt was not retracting the way it should when my son would unbuckle from his booster seat. I would have to feed the belt through to have it retract. 2. It happened every time we unbuckled his seat. 3. We switched his seat with my daughter's, as she is still in a car seat and is latched to the car itself, and was not using her seat belt. We called ford and it was no longer under warranty…
