The cars electrical system has failed multiple times while driving leading to no headlights, brake lights and all other electrical components. we have had vehicle serviced by multiple different mechanics including ford dealership however problem persists shortly after repair each time. vehicle does not display any forewarning of failure such as no check engine lights or any indication that anything is wrong. all services and inspections show nothing is wrong however vehicle service records show electrical system and battery serviced/changed multiple time due to reoccurring problem. manufacturer says that our vin is not included in the recall however vehicle has all same issues as recalls from May 2014 to July 2015.Vehicle was manufactured April 04,2015. how are vehicle does not fall under any of these recalls is beyond my understanding, at this point in time vehicle does not run due to multiple mechanics being unable to pin point or fix electrical issues. Would like vehicle reinspected for any of these recalls and car fixed and safe to drive.

Drivers seatbelt doesn't latch properly. I have to keep pullin the seat buckle in and out several times until it finally latches. This occurs pretty much every time I put on the seatbelt. Down below I had to select a date wouldn't let me go back further than Jan. But this has been going on several months since last year. I got the car used in Jul 2020

My driver side seat belt pulls out, however, if it comes out too far, it doesn't go back to being tight, like it should. The car is stationary when this happens.

We bought this car used with 33000 miles. It now has 46000 miles. At 37000 miles the passenger seat belt started to randomly lock up. It would pin my wife to the seat back. Every time we had to stop the car to unbuckle, then feed the belt back into the mechanism to pull it back out. If she leaned forward to adjust the radio it would sometimes let out an inch or two or three, then lock. We then had to stop the car, unbuckle and feed it back in, then start over. Sometimes it locks in place as soon as she buckles up be fore I start the car. Sometimes it will go several days with no issue. Our local dealer is mullinax Ford of olympia wa.they replaced it under the 50000mile safety warranty. It did not fix the issue. It still randomly locked up and we have to stop the car to unbuckle and feed it back in. They re[placed it again. It still locks up. I tried moving the adjustable upper anchor point. That seems to fix the problem for that day. The next day its back. They claim there is nothing wrong. "this is normal." My 1973 pinto did not do this, nor did my 1993 aerostar or my 1985 Pontiac. My 1993 F150 pick up does not act like this. My concern is that in the event of a crash she will be stuck in the car if the release button in damaged or unreachable. I can't believe this is normal. My daughter informs me that the right side rear belt has started to do this. So both belts on the right side have issues, but not the left side. What is wrong with these belts" is there a design or production change that needs correction" please investigate. I have supporting documentation including emails with Ford, but your system will not accept them due to file size. I'll try anyway. Nope. Please contact me. I can email or fax them to you. It happens at any speed 0 to 70 at any throttle or brake setting.
