This seat belt latch was made by TRW and has failed to un latch on a number of occasions. My contact at fulton Ford in canal fulton, oh 44614 said there was nothing they could do I would have to by a new part. I feel this is wrong this is a safety issue! it is against the law to drive without a seat belt. Being this is a safety issue Ford/TRW should have to fix this problem! how many times should you have to crawl out of the seat belt because it want come un done.
The original seat belts in the rear are extremely difficult to unbuckle. Grown adults take up to 1 minute to unbuckle. This is a such a potential hazard.

Driver's side seat buckles would not unlatch. Two incidents on same day when I had to manipulate buckle tongue and bottom for approx. 5 mins. To get buckle to release.
Driver seat and shoulder belt would not release from the locking mechanism, trapping the occupant in the vehicle, causing the driver to cut the seat belt.
When trying to buckle the seat belt it takes three or four times to get the seat belt to work. Driving down the road the seat belt will come off without anything touching the seat belt.
