What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 ford explorer. While the vehicle was parked, the contact noticed that the seat belt latch fractured. As a result the contact was unable to buckle the seat belt. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the seat belt housing needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 5,208.
Randomly one of the captain chairs seat belts no longer buckles. It's a airbag seatbelt with a different type of latch. We have numerous problems with these type of buckles since we bough the vehicle. They had to replace the whole housing unit on the other side within the first 6 months because it just fell apart.
