What owners wrote
We were rear ended while sitting at a redlight. The impact was hard enough to launch the 6000 lb expedition 20-30 feet into the intersection. 2 out of 5 seat belts opened up and those 2 occupants went flying around in the car. Thank god it was not a head on collision. I never retested or checked the seatbelts and the vehicle was totaled and sent to a salvage yard in nc by travelers insurance. Injuries were whip lash, strained necks and cervical compression and concussions.
Be driving any speed it works and both seat belts locking latch will release while driving. It has got worse the front passenger side will not latch any more.
