Took fusion in for recall 16s42 concerning seatbelt pretentioners on 08aug17. No airbag warning light was illuminated on the dash, when we went to pickup the car the light was on. The dealership had not seen the light and refused to check out the problem before my wife left the dealership. I believe that durango motor company, durango colorado should have taken responsibility of checking the system.

There is a safety recall regarding the driver and front passenger seat belts. The seat belts may not properly restrain occupants during a crash. This has been on recall since november 2016 without any solution yet. This is a significant safety risk that should already have had a fix.

I want to sell my car. The seatbelt recall does not have a fix date yet. I cannot sell my car to a dealer and get a market price until the seatbelt is fixed. The dealer is saying 3rd quarter. This seems like too long. Also not safe.

Rear center passenger seat stops working and locks up in the folded-down seat position making the two passenger-side seats unusable or usable by disengaging the seat belt completely. This repeatable defect occurs when the passenger-side rear seat is folded down. This causes the seatbelt to lock-up and therefore impedes returning the seat to the normal raised position.
