Ford Escort 1996 Seat Belts RearFord Escort 1996 Seat Belts Rear Review #10121811 FORD ESCORT 1996 car safety problem was reported on May 21, 2005.FORD ESCORT 1996, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SEAT BELTS:REAR . we are the owners of a 1996 ford escort wagon vin: [xxx]. we have been the only owners of this vehicle. we are writing to complain about the failure of the lap shoulder safety belts in the rear seat on both sides. both of the rear lap shoulder belt retractor mechanisms have failed within a short time of each other. this means the seat belts will no longer retract or pull tight when someone tries to use the rear seat belts. the reason we feel compelled to complain about this failure is that until around 9 months ago, we rarely (a handful of times at the most) used the rear lap shoulder seat belts. in august 2004 we switched our son's car seat over to a booster seat, moved the seat from the middle to the driver's side and started using the lap shoulder safety belt. in early november we were forced to move our son's booster seat to the passenger side because the driver's side belt failed to retract and was unusable. today we were driving home in our car when we heard a loud metallic noise from the rear of the car, and we noticed that there was something wrong with our son's lap shoulder seat belt. when we stopped to see what the problem was we discovered that the same thing that happened to the driver's side lap shoulder seat belt had happened to the passenger side one as well. so, in the nine months since we switched over to the two point system on our son's booster seat, where the seat belt was regularly deployed and retracted, the retractor mechanism has broken on both sides. this seems like a suspiciously concurrent event. we believe the retractor mechanisms on the rear seat belts were either defective or were installed incorrectly when our car was built. both mechanism broke while the seat belt was on our son, not while we were putting on the seat belt. the seat belt was already buckled and in place when they failed. *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 89535 miles.

Ford Escort 1996 TiresFord Escort 1996 Tires Review #10348239 FORD ESCORT 1996 car safety problem was reported on July 30, 2010.FORD ESCORT 1996, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with TIRES . my wife & i have a 1996 ford escort wagon that we purchased used in 2008. at the time of purchase it had a set of 4 bridgestone insignia sl tires that still had reasonable tread depth remaining, so we decided to continue to use the tires until the tread had worn down more and needed replacing. on friday, july 30, 2010, my wife was driving down the freeway at approximately 70 mph when part of the rear passenger-side tire tread separated from the tire and shot against the sheet metal on the inside of the wheel well. it ripped a large hole in the vehicle¿s sheet metal, shot many small pieces of tire through the hole into the interior cargo area in the rear of the vehicle, and caused the vehicle to stall at the same time. thankfully my wife was able to handle the car during this catastrophic event and successfully maneuver it onto the shoulder of the freeway. we had the car towed home since it would no longer start, and when it arrived i noticed the large hole that had been made inside the wheel well by the tread separation. the tire still had pressure, but at that time i saw that about half of the tread was completely missing. since the ford escort has its fuel cutout switch installed against the passenger-side wheel well, i checked to see if that had tripped and it had. once it was reset the car was able to start and the engine ran normally. as a result of this catastrophic tire failure my wife was placed in an incredibly dangerous situation, stranded on the road, and significant damage was done to our vehicle. it is my understanding as a former automotive engineer that tire failures of this kind are not acceptable and any tire that is susceptible to this failure must not be used. i have replaced all 4 tires with new tires of a different brand and am working on having the car repaired. approximately 2 weeks prior to this event i had checked the pressure in all 4 tires and had inflated them just under the maximum listed on the side of the tire (44 psi). *tr.Mileage was 151600 miles.

Ford Escort 1996 Reports
my 95 ford exploere engine surges when turn my air conditioner on Ihave a 1994 ford probe which has started to idle very low and stalls at times. It is a 4 cyl. w/ air and a 5 speed. any ideas? I replaced the fuel filter, air flow meter and added HEAT to gas tank to dry and clean fuel system. I think my pcv valv should a standard transmission truck start when it is in gear without the clucth engaged? should a 2005 standard transmission ford ranger start when in gear without the clutch engaged? 96 Ford F250 Emergency brake lever gets caught on the auto adjustment spring, causing brakes to be permanently engaged, also allowing the parking break lever to rub against the hub, which can cut through over time. try pushing the pedals button closer to you. you must have the pedal adjustment button to the left of the radio, looks like a foot, that brings the pedals more inward towards the driver. hope it helped. or look carefully if a wire has corroded. it i would check ur multi switch on ur stearing colum on the pedal whats the sound Just bought an '06 E-350 van. Left d'ship got on highway and noticed shimmy when I got to 60....same problem???? that happened to me last night! If you rock the car back and for while shifting then it should release the safety lock! why does it take turning off the veh. while pulling in on the shifter arm, them starting it again while still holding it inwards ever so slightly??
