1998 Ford F-150 Air Bags & Restraints Problems

My driver's side seat belt does not work at all for the past 6-8 months its been stuck and locked and it doesn't release the belt at all so I been driving without a seat belt for awhile now it needs to be repaired and as for the other issues unknown like bank-1 & bank-2 not working properly also evap-leaks and sensors not working

BOTH FRONT SEAT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THERE WAS NO COLLISION. HORN CAME ON, WHITE SUBSTANCE THROUGHOUT THE CAB OF THE TRUCK, HAD TO GET OUT, THUMB WAS HURT BUT NOT BROKEN. I HAD TO CUT INTO THE INFLATABLE AIR BAGS AND DISENGAGE THE HORN AND DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME.

WHEN DEPLOYED THE AIR BAGS DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DID NOT FULLY OPEN WHEN I WAS MOVING AND REAR ENDED ANOTHER CAR.

WAS PARKING TRUCK AND BEFORE I EVEN KNEW IT THE WHOLE TRUCK WAS ON FIRE ! NO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSE IT.

WHEN BUCKLING THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT, THE SHOULDER HARNESS DETACHED FROM UPPER ANCHOR DUE TO THE NUT COMING OFF THE BOLT. INSPECTION OF THE PASSENGER SIDE BELT SHOWED THE NUT TO BE LOOSE. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SEATBELT LATCH WILL DISCONNECT WITHOUT PUSHING THE BUTTON. I WILL BUCKLE MY SEATBELT AND THEN IT WILL JUST UNBUCKLE WHILE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. *TR
