What owners wrote
Approximately 2 months ago, my driver's side front seat belt failed to lock. I could not get it to lock properly and, as a result, I had to drive without a seat belt until the dealer was able to get delivery on a replacement unit.
Car failed safety inspection due air bag warning light on. Diagnosis indicated that the driver's seat belt pretensioner had failed, and air bag would not inflate in a crash. The pretensioner had to be replaced. This seemed like a premature failure, as the car has only 47924 miles. The service desk person at the dealer said that this was very common in mercury grand marquis. I did some checking on the internet and found that he was correct, according to all of the reports exactly like mine.
