I recently bought a 01 mustang with 103k miles on it. Not 2 days later the passenger seat belt stopped working. I took it down to our local ford house and they told me it was just odd that it happened to break and would cost 300 dollars to change the seat belt. I did some research online and find that many people have this problem. Either the seat belt locks up and takes a while to straiten back out or like mine it just stops working. One post on a forums said that his 2003 mustang's went out before 50000 miles.
