What owners wrote
On december 5th 2016 at approximately 6:15, my vehicle was involved in a violent rear end accident. A 1980 steel pick up ran into the back of my stationary 2013 ford fusion. Causing major rear end damage and physical injury to the occupants of this stationary car. My mother was properly placed in her passenger seat's seat belt. However, her right arm was damaged due to improper suspension upon impact. As a result she no longer has use of her right hand due to nerve damage.
When vehicle sits in the sun all day at high temp, the driver's seat belt will not deploy. The tensioner locks up. After sitting several minutes with A/C on high the seat belt will still not deploy. This is a serious issue making the vehicle unsafe to drive for the driver.
