Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“When accelerating, the driver's seat rocked upward and I almost lost control of the car. The rear of the seat remained attached to the rail. The diagnosis per the Ford dealer was that the seat rails were faulty and needed to be replaced. This is a 2014 model car, and I have never had such an issue after over 40 years of driving.”

“Power seat assembly is broken and it looks to be a common problem and it needs addressed asap before someone get killed. My family was driving on the interstate and the seat made a very fast zip or ratcheting noise and immediately tilted backwards several inches causing me to swerve all over the road. In my search of this problem, I found it was a very common problem and a very expensive fix all the while Ford refuses knowing about it”

“Power seat assembly is broken and it looks to be a common problem and it needs addressed asap before someone get killed. My family and I were driving on the interstate and the seat made a very fast zip or ratcheting noise and immediately tilted backwards several inches causing me to swerve all over the road but gained control of the vehicle. In my search of this problem, I found it was a very common problem and a very expensive fix all the while Ford knowing about it, but not fixing the weak problems causing this. …”

“The car salesman was demonstrating how the rear seat backs fold down. He was on one side of the car, I on the other. We both returned the seat backs to their upright positions. He returned his seat back slightly beyond vertical. My wife sat in the seat, leaned forward, and pulled the lever to move the seat back to its vertical position. The seat back sprung forward. It forcefully hit my wife's back and neck, causing her to nearly lose her breath. It hurt her. The salesman then said she should have been leaning against the back when she pulled the lever to keep it from springing forward. …”
