[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 744138, member: 60724"] Jeffksf, I feel your pain. I don't know what the issue is, but the ST is the only vehicle I have ever owned wherein it was common to slam the seatbelt in the door. I think it is a design issue, myself, either with recoil mechanism not strong or fast enough, or the belt getting bound up in the seat or the door frame, etc. Caymen is right, probably your only real solution is to conciously and deliberately extract yourself from the seatbelt on exit and assure that it is in place properly even if needing to provide a little assistance before shutting the door. In other words, in typical Ford fashion, the customer has to learn how to use the product based on its limitations and to lower their expectations on what it means to have a quality product. Yeah, I know, I am coming off as a jerk and a Ford basher. Heck, I still drive a Ford. They could be such a better company if they would only take things a little more seriously and if we would all hold them to a higher standard. TJR [/QUOTE]
