Recall id NHTSA: 01v227001 - seat belt buckle comes undone while driving - I brought my 2001 ford f150 into the dealership to repair the seat buckle which periodically came undone while driving. The dealership "inspected" the buckle and said there was no problem with the buckle. The seatbelt buckle continues to spontaneously become disconnected while driving. I took my f150 into the dealership today to have it actually repaired.
