1999 Ford Contour

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE SEAT BELTS IN MY CAR FOR ABOUT A YEAR. BOTH SEAT BELTS IN THE FRONT DON'T SEEM TO RETRACT AND GET TANGELED AND TWISTED ALL THE TIME. I HAVE MANUALLY ADJUSTED THEM EVERYTIME I DROVE. JUST 5 MONTHS AGO I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT, I WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AT A LIGHT AND WAS REAR ENDED CAUSING ME TO HIT THE CAR INFRONT OF ME. I HIT MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL CAUSING ME A CONCUSION. MY SEAT BELT DID NOT RETRACT TO HOLD ME BACK AND THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAVE CALLED FORD AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD PAY FOR THE SEAT BELTS TO BE FIXED AND THEY DID NOT METION ANYTHING ABOUT THE AIRBAG. I MANAGED TO UNTANGLE THE SEAT BELTS ON MY CAR AND I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE BUCKLES ARE FACING THE WRONG WAY. THIS I COMPARED TO OTHER CARS AND FORDS AS WELL. *AK

THE VEHICLE HAD POOR GAS MILEAGE. THE DRIVERS WINDOW JAMMED. THE RUBBER PIECE AROUND THE FRAME OF THE RIGHT SIDE REAR PASSENGER'S SEAT CONSTANTLY CAME OFF. THE SHOULDER HARNESS ON DRIVER'S SIDE AND IN THE REAR SEATS TWISTED AND JAMMED. THE DASHBOARD COVER CAME LOOSE. THE RADIO OPERATED POORLY. THE TRUNK LATCH OFTEN REQUIRED MULTIPLE PULLS TO OPEN THE TRUNK. THE AIR BAG LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY CAME ON. WHILE DRIVING THERE WAS A WHINING/GRINDING NOISE. *AK *NLM

WHILE WEARING MY SEAT BELT WHICH I ALWAYS CHECK TO BE SURE IT IS FASTENED I FELL ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL. I HIT THE LEFT BARRIER AND JERKED THE WHEEL. THAT IS ALL I REMEMBER. WHEN I WOKE UP THE CAR WAS UPSIDE DOWN AND I WAS LAYING ON THE ROOF ON MY STOMACH FACING FORWARD. THE SEAT BELT CAME UNBUCKLED AND THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. IT APPEARS I WAS THROWN INTO THE EMPTY PASSENGER SEAT AS IT WAS BROKEN. I AM UPSET THE BELT CAME UNBUCKLED. THE CAR WAS A 1999 FORD CONTOUR SE. I HAD NO BUCKLE PROBLEMS IN THE PAST. *JB

THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT LOCKED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. THE ECOND TIME, IT JUST WOULD NOT RELEASE, AND I HAD TO CUT THE SEATBEAT SO THE PASSENGER COULD GET OUT. AIR CONDITIONER BLOWER SWITCH JUST WENT OUT ONE DAY. THE AIR CONDITIONER WILL ONLY WORK IF I KEEP THE CONTROL TURNED TO "HIGH." I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE BOTH OF THESE ITEMS REPLACED BY FORD, IF POSSIBLE.
