What owners wrote
Vehicle was in an head-on accident at 35 MPH none of safety features worked, including air bags/seat belts, and brakes. Dealer has been contacted.
The right (passenger) rear seat belt of my 2000 ford taurus recently failed and is no longer usable. For no apparent reason, this seat belt has locked in place and will neither unwind or retract. It would seem that the internal rotor that regulates the seat belt's length has gotten stuck. The belt moves about 1/2 inch before firmly locking. It will not retract from this position and I cannot get it to reset after several days of trying.
