2017 Ford Escape Seat Belts Problems

The driver seatbelt will not lock when fully extended or in the event of an accident. This will be the third time that I will have had to have this repair done. Ford warrants the part for 5 years or 60,000 miles.

The backseat passenger side seat belt locked up. The seat belt pulls out, but it will not retract without being forced in. This means I cannot have a passenger in this seat, because they would not be properly restrained if an accident were to occur.

The front passenger seat belts do not lock during hard braking. Seats belts fail to lock and engage. This is a very serious safety issues.

Front passenger seatbelt does not hold person back when breaks are firmly pressed. Passenger continues to go forward and seatbelt does nothing to hold passenger back, if I were in a crash my passenger would go right through the window. The lap belt does stay in place, however the belt that goes from across the chest to shoulder does not tighten to hold my passenger secure.

Engine light consistently comes on and stays on. Took to local ford dealer. They charge us over $200 to fix it.

We were involved in a car accident on a highway when I was making a left turn and a car came up and hit the left front wheel well and ending up tearing off the front of the car.

Coolant issues, calipers needing replaced/seized but maintenance has always been up-kept and done at dealer, odor from turbo.

When folding down the rear seats to expand storage seatbelt buckles can become crushed, even when doing so per the manual's direct instructions, rendering the rear restraint system useless.

The front driver and front passenger seat belts are not retracting properly. I did a search online for other models of this year and many people are having issues with this. Please investigate this as this is a safety issue.

Vehicle is only four years old and drivers side seat belt retracts slowly. I also own a 2010 ford escape with the same problem. The seat belt ends up getting slammed in the door which I am sure is eventually going to compromise the integrity of the belt.

Within 17,000 miles on the 2017 ford escape the brakes and the rotors went out and within 8 months of having bought the escape one of the rear seatbelts is not working
