The driver's side seat belt buckle unlatches spontaneously. There are many complaints on this site that describe the exact same problem with seat belts in this truck model. Unbelievably, ford will not repair this obvious safety hazard at it's expense. I believe that there should be an official recall of these vehicles for this problem. *tr

My son was driving our 2002 ford f-150 the first time the seatbelt disengaged. It happens often. I called the local dealership and they told me there is no recall on this seatbelt.

There is numerous complaints about the…
