Under Spencer's recommendation I slapped a little WD40 on those automatic seat belts and now they are no longer noisy! Now I have no complaints about them.. Hell, they even save me about $60 in insurance a year.

With the money it would have cost us to pay the medical bill in our wreck, we could have bought several cars. Over here they call it a green slip you pay like 100 bucks for it every 2-3 years and the govnerment will pay for all that.

Its not so much, in the majority of cases that I have observed, that we cannot put our seat belts on. It is that many people forget, or find belts (particularly shoulder straps) to be uncomfortable. So they don't wear them. When they wreck, they are more likely to be hurt or killed. Insurance companies, believe it or not, do not want you to be hurt that badly and/or killed because they're the ones paying for your medical treatment. The person we hit in '02 was ejected from her Nissan, if she had been driving a Ford Tempo, well, she and thousands of others would probably be alive or not seriously hurt.

They dont make it any less likely you will crash.  PS: Automatic seatbelts are the most RETARDED thing I've ever heard of. I only just found out they existed and I already wish I hadn't. How hard is it to put a seat belt on manually? Or is it for fat people who can't reach over their own shoulders?  Whats next? A car that automatically drives itself for you? Buses drive you places, so I guess you could say thats already indirectly been invented. IMPALA Posted at 1:54 pm on Nov. 3, 2008 :golf clap: way to be an ignorant European regarding your fat comment. It was a passive safety feature, for what it's worth.. much like airbags.

Maybe its just my Tempo is so awesome nothing on it breaks. Except the light knob and/or high beam stalk. IMPALA Posted at 11:03 am on Nov. 2, 2008 my escort's belt motor was blown. ScoobyDoo82 Posted at 10:30 am on Nov. 2, 2008 Quote: from Punkrocker 1992 at 12:43 am on Nov. 2, 2008 According to Wiki they stopped because of airbags conflicting with them. My opinion is they had a fantastic purpose. They forced you to have a belt on, think of the amounts of deaths that would be prevented if every car had them.   As for the motors, I was surprised to find they worked in my Tempo. But then, thinking about it, I've never heard of a single case where a Tempo, Topaz, Escort, or Tracer had the motors break. I have heard of cases where the motors blow, but very rare. mcodeath Posted at 3:18 am on Nov. 2, 2008 Quote: from Punkrocker 1992 at 11:43 pm on Nov. 1, 2008 According to Wiki they stopped because of airbags conflicting with them.
