I just discovered my seatbelt doesn’t fully latch. Anyone else with this problem? It’s the weekend so I’ll contact the dealer tomorrow.

Make sure there is no coins inside your belt receiver. Known trick to make people mad.

This!! Years ago I had a Ford EcoSport and my seatbelt did the exact same thing. Since it was out of warranty, I had to fix it myself. After much frustration, I shook it violently and a penny flew out . After that, the seatbelt worked again. I'm not sure how the penny got in there, but I'm very careful reaching into my pocket if I'm not wearing my seatbelt (usually in a drive-thru or something like that).

We paid cash for two Mavericks, every penny went to the dealer 😝

Just as a suggestion try looking inside. Especially if it's not going in fully

Good morning. Could you privately message us with your VIN and the name and location of your Ford dealer so I can look into this seatbelt concern? Thank you!

Check to see if something is stuck in there. Sounds like it's being blocked, just my though.

We drove the car to the nearest Ford dealership and the service advisor agreed that the seatbelt doesn’t latch. However, they’re all booked today so we had to make an appointment for later in the week. They would not offer a courtesy loaner vehicle because we did not purchase our vehicle at their dealership. We also contacted the dealership where we purchased our vehicle and they wouldn’t offer us a loaner vehicle because we didn’t buy their premium service. So now we just have to continue driving our brand new defective vehicle without a seat belt until our scheduled appointment.
