“Driving my 1995 Ford Mustang at approx 25 miles per hour when the seat back support just gave in causing me to grip the steering wheel in order to physically stay upright in the vehicle. I'm fortunate I wasn't going faster or this occurring on the freeway. I could have killed myself or others due to the material failure. Dealership examined vehicle and found the left front recline mount bolt broken. Dealership also ordered and replaced the left front seat recliner assy. Reported incident to Ford motor company. I want an agency to be alerted of a potential hazard and investigate. …”
NHTSA complaint #10171538, filed 2006-10, 133,128 miles“Drivers seat broke! The seat track snapped in two places (metal) where connected to the floor. When taken to dealer I am told it is not a safety issue and I have to pay the $228.00 for a new seat, plus labor. Car was not safe to drive, was like a roller coster ride when turning corners. I've noticed over 10 other complaints for the same problem. Why isn't it a recall?”

When I pulled the drivers seat back rest into it's original postion for driving, it fell completely onto the back seat. Upon examination, by both myself and gillespie Ford service center, it was determined that the bolt securing the release lever sheared off in threads in the frame of the drivers seat, rendering the seat unable to take a safe driving position. …”
NHTSA complaint #10075311, filed 2004-06“The seat track on my car broke right after the 3 years was up, although as of now I have just over 32200 miles on the car. I was able to tilt the driver's seat up all the way. When taken to different dealers and calling fords 800 number I was told it wasn't covered since the time was up. I replaced the seat and found that the metal had snapped in two places( near the holes where the seat was bolted down) would this be as a safety problem? I still have the orignal parts. Dt”
NHTSA complaint #770316, filed 2002-12“Seat track completly broken on one side and seat tips when going around corners. I feel this is not a wear and tear item. I think this a safety issue and it should be addressed by Ford motor company.”
