Restraints Indicator Lamp Warning

[Bobbafett]

Has anyone experienced a fault in the drivers side seatbelt buckle sensor? (not the warning after someone exits the rear seats)

I've seen a handful of these posted.

Yes. Dealer wound up replacing the drivers seat belt mechanism,
and did some software stuff. I think there is a TSB or something like it out. Car was in warranty at the time. It won’t go away on its own, but is a known problem. BTW, it’s the only thing that has gone wrong, at least up til now, and i have 43,000 miles on it.

Thanks for the reply, I think I need to get the dealer soon before my warranty expires!

It’s a fairly common fault on any makes/models.

It’s usually caused by wear or damage to the seatbelt plugs and/or wiring harnesses due to seat or other movement under there.

Hi there! Could you please send us a DM with your VIN and local Ford dealer? We would like to investigate things on our end. Thanks!

Two weeks ago I started getting the same Restraints indicator Lamp Warning message. It clears after turning the car off and intermittently comes back.

In the past I have have a great experience and relationship with my local dealership, however for this issue they said this wouldn't be covered under warranty since I am about 700miles over the warranty now.

Other than this recent warning message, my family has been very happy with the Mustang Mache.

If you had the car serviced at a dealer on time every time there surely must be some goodwill offer by Ford.

Those who skimp on servicing thinking they know better lose out??‍

……..speaks the voice of experience?

I just had the car just serviced a month earlier, so I was hoping the dealership would take car of this issue out of goodwill but was declined.

I was reminded that FORD is very strict on the rules on warranty. I can't knock the dealership for this, it is however disappointing.

That's why I don't give a Dealer any more money than necessary.
I rotate my own tires.
