Drivers side seat belt would not unbuckle. Had to use force to get it to unbuckle, then drove around with it dinging for a damn week until I could get it into the dealers. They fixed and did not charge me for the seat belt. Discount Tire damaged the tire pressure sensor when they were fixing a flat. The Ford Dealer replaced the sensor and gave me a discount on the part as Discount Tire would not accept responsibility for the repair. My dealership is good.
