I folded the back seat down and when i went to put it up the seat belt for the middle passenger in the back seat locked and i could not get the seat to come up. i went to the ford dealership and they cut the belt and said they would order another belt. while they were cutting the belt the comment was made this is the 5th or 6th car we have come in with this problem. i started to think this is one dealership, how many more cars owners have had this happen to them. i think this is a real safety issue.
