2001 Ford F-150 Seat Belts Problems, Complaints and Defects

Description of the problem	When vehicle is moving, sitting idle at a traffic light driver side seat belt unlatches. This is not an every day occurrence but probably several times a month. The vehicle has been owned and used by my family since it was new. Our son used it for a few years until gas became too expensive so then i got it back. He said that on occasion the same thing had happened to him and his girlfriend/now wife sometimes had the seat belt unlatch on the front passenger side. When i called to find out from ford last summer if there were a recall on the seat belts, i was told no; i was also told that probably i was just not latching it securely. Many times when i think about it, i listen for the click or will actually press the button to unlatch then push it back in to again hear the click. Sometimes even after i have done this, the seat belt quietly unlatches. For a very long time - and the date of the first incident is entirely wrong as i know i've had it happen probably that i can remember back into at least 2007 or 2008. Originally i didn't think about it but did assume i had not securely latched it. Now i know it is the ford seat belt and not me. Since i finally remembered to write it down, i will be getting it fixed but believe that ford is at fault, this should be recalled, and i should not be charged. This never happens when braking so far.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
