2015 Ford Explorer Seat Belts Problems

My child was trying to buckle her seatbelt (right seat, middle row) and the part that you insert the metal into snapped apart. HUGE safety issue. What if it broke during an accident.

My family and I planned to go to town one day. The vehicle was parked in my driveway at the time and all seat belts were working the night before as my family and I had went to town the night before for dinner with out any problems with the seatbelts. When my daughter got in the back driver seat and attempted to put on her seat belt it was in a locked position.

A 2015 ford explorer was involved in a high speed side-impact and rollover collision. The seatbelt was worn at the time of the collision based on a preponderance of physical evidence on the occupant restraint system and interior vehicle components. The acm reported the driver was "not buckled" at the time of the collision.

My car was struck from behind - 65mph and the seat belt did not tension and caused my head to bounce off the steering wheel causing a large knot on my head and taken away by ambulance - no air bags deployed (but that may be due to being struck from behind and pushed into a vehicle in front) I was rolling 5 to 10mph and slowing for traffic - hit from behind by pickup - no brakes applied - flew forward and the seat belt tensioner released all the belt out and stayed that way - I would think that I should have been stopped by the belt and bruised across the chest - but all the force was taken to my head and neck off the steering wheel and whiplashed back to the seat.

This weekend the seatbelt on the Driver seat gave out and now I am unable to buckle my seatbelt at all. I called Larry H Miller Ford in Lakewood CO and they informed me that a diagnostic for the seat belt is 230$ which is out of my budget.

my middle row airbag seat belts on both sides are broke. you can not hook them into the bottom piece. One does not stay hooked and the other is completely apart.

The inflatable seat belts on the middle row of 2015 Explorer Sport have broken. The buckle component on the R passenger side completely locked into place with a child buckled into it, and the child had to squirm and be pulled out of the belt. It is locked into the buckle.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Explorer. The contact stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was discovered that the cause of the failure was related to the rear middle row seat belt assembly.

The contact indicated that the passenger’s side seat belt receiver housing and the internal clip had initially fractured and later the driver's internal clip had fractured making the seat belts unusable.

1st concern: my 2015 ford explorer is at 84,000 miles. I have captain (bucket) seats for the 2nd row. About 6 months ago, my son couldn't get out his seat belt.

At around 100,000 miles drivers seat belt would not lock or unlock...started sticking around 95,000 miles. Never had to replace a seatbelt before especially in a car that was only three years old. Also, at around the same time the drivers side windshield pillar broke off and flew off while driving on the highway at around 65 MPH.

On the seat belts the middle role bucket seats are both tearing where the air bag is in them and they are also hard to latch so the seat belt can't come undone unless you push the red button.

Both of the inflatable seat belts in the back seat fail to latch. Have been checked for debris.

Second row drivers side seat belt failed to retract and is unusable

The passenger seat belt (behind the driver) has locked up and we are unable to lock the seat belt in place. It locked up from the top side - not the bottom side. Since it is locked up, it will not allow anyone to sit in the seat since it can not be locked in place.

2nd row seat belts, outer right and left have broken buckle. Part is on national back order and is not available. Ford does not have a recall or TSB active on this problem.

The left rear seat belt buckle/receptacle broke in early 2023. Ford told me the part is on backorder. Every time I have checked with Ford, they continue to say the part is on backorder.

The seat belt locks and will not release unless the belt is completely brought back in.

My son was sitting in the back left seat and he got strangled into the middle seat belt. It locked and would not release making the strangulation more tight. I then had to cut the belt.
