THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THAT HAS OCCURRED SINCE I PURCHASED MY 2002 FORD F-150 SPORT NEW. MY DRIVER SIDE SEATBELT UNBUCKLES ON ITS OWN AS I DRIVE. I HAVE WORN SEATBELTS SINCE THE LATE 1960'S AND DO NOT EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM IN THE OTHER 4 VEHICLES I DRIVE. IT IS TERRIFYING TO THINK THAT THE SEATBELT MAY NOT WORK IN A TIME OF EMERGENCY WHEN IT IS NEEDED. UNFORTUNATELY, I NEVER SEEM TO THINK OF THIS PROBLEM WHEN I TAKE THE TRUCK IN FOR FORD DEALER SERVICE. I WILL MAKE A POINT TO DO SO NEXT TIME I AM IN FOR SERVICE. THIS EVENT HAS OCCURRED TWICE IN THE PAST WEEK. FOR NOW, I TUG ON THE SEATBELT WHEN I BUCKLE UP TO SEE IF THE BELT IS LOCKED OR I THINK IT IS LOCKED.
