Indeed. My biggest frustration here is that it seems Ford has done its best to install a blockade in front of anyone who might be able to override this problem. I did find it somewhat ironic that when I told one of the Customer Care folks that the ford tech from Reddit saw that a certain...

The helpful Reddit ford tech said the seat bolts are "one time use" and recommended I swap those out too. The tech at Frontier showed me that the system recommended them but didn't tell me the reason. At that rate, I'll pay the $70 or so to swap out the buckle if I'm taking it off. I'll pull...

Update. I've called Customer Care a number of times, they escalate and all throw up their hands and say "we can't do anything the claim is denied". I posted to Instagram and sent @Ford on Instagram a message which I got a reply to. After some back and forth they say "your best best is to...

This reminds me of a story close to 40 years ago. I had driven my dad's '82 Silver Prelude to school. Went out during a break and got in the car to just chill between classes. After a minute or so things didn't seem familiar. Looked around and didn't see much that was familiar and even saw...

No deductible on the 5 year 60K one nor on my extended warranty so I updated the Customer Care case and told them explicitly that I cannot accept them only covering 40% of the cost and will only accept it being 100% covered. Yea, I think for me it's how often folks just shrug their shoulders...

Oh, I forgot to include this image from the documentation from my Premium Care extended warranty:

Decided to post on Instagram and Reddit for giggles and a Ford Service tech responded. Started chatting with him directly and he said the problem seems to be that the part is listed as a trim part so it's only covered under the 3 year 36 mile warranty. He put in a Mustang belt part number and...

Actually no. The defect is that when I just push the belt end into the buckle, it won't latch. I have to just barely push on the rest release button and with the belt end in for it to latch. But, my concern is, it will get worse and to the point where it stops working all together. Of...

It's also possible that it's just this part number. I'm going to see if my parts friend can look up a buckle for an F150 or something and see if it would be covered. I don't think anyone would believe in their mind that a seat belt part wouldn't be covered under a "safety restraint system" and...

The service techs at Frontier don't seem to agree with that approach. Sure if it's something they have to pull apart and takes a lot of time. This takes a minute or two including walking to the truck, opening the door and showing the tech. Peterb

I suppose. But I actually did that today when I brought it to Frontier Ford today as he said it was in fact a defect. What I've objected to in the past is what Capitol Ford and Sunnyvale like to do and that is to charge for the inspection and say if we determine it's a defect then you don't...

One would think but that appears to not be the case here. As mentioned, I spoke to the folks at Sunnyvale Ford and they wanted to inspect it having me make an appointment and then they'd determine if it's covered. So, I decided to stop by Frontier on the way home (since they never called me...

Thanks. Looks just like the one in my truck.

Yes just 4 bolts under plastic covers. I think it’s a torx T40. I removed the seat to run wires into cab for side step lights. There’s a grommet under the seat so you can run wires into the cab. Besides the firewall. Cool. Yea I pulled the plastic covers off they are regular bolts. The...

Sounds like a good idea. Thanks. Peterb

Yea if it's covered I'll have them swap it out but given the "legalese" I seem to be getting I'm concerned that they will want to charge me to inspect and then tell me if it will cost me. My friend in Folsom said his service guy thought it wouldn't be covered by the extended warranty. Truck is...

Went out and looked as I too thought it was "gummed up" but it's really clean inside. Then, I compared it with the passenger side and it looks like the release button on the drivers side comes up higher than the outer shell where on the passenger side it does not. Attaching pictures. Anyone...

This morning when I left for work I was unable to get my seat belt to stay in the receiving end of it (not sure what that end is called). After dorking around with it I found that I can get it to latch and stay in if I slightly push in the removal button and it seems fine after that. I...

Geeze, back in the day we used to press these on and off at a "mom and pop" auto parts store. I guess that's no longer a thing? Well that and the seal for a Ford 9" was lightly pressed into the housing and not on the axle shaft itself.

Mine has been on 10 days now. Not seeing the CCA go up much (seems more impacted by temps) nor resistance go down (same impact with temp I think) but I am seeing lower morning voltages (around 14.5 instead of 14.9) on the USB outlet/voltage display and I've finally seen it dip to 13.9 during...
