Hi from Germany,
er bought a Windstar in 95.
The vehicle features six safety belts. As it turned out only now, neither one of them works. Although they can be buckled properly and there is no visible sign of any defect, they will not block and are thus not able to hold back a person during a crash situation. As it is more than unlikely, that all six belts suddenly break, I suspect, that there has been somme sort of a manipulation by a preowner with the effect, to disable the safety function of the belt. The mechanic found out, that once taken out of the car and held in the hand, the safety-mechanism works properly and the rolling off is blocked by sudden pulling. But as soon as it is put back into its position in the car, the belt will fully roll off and not stop.Any idea for us? Thank you so muchKarin
