problem #1

Oct 011999

Explorer 4WD

  • miles
When either accelerating or decelerating the driver's side seat will make a popping sound and move (short distances). The manufacturer has claimed it happens on all 1999 Explorer models (eddie bauer version) with eletronic seats. I am worried that the seat could be designed incorrectly and possibly move forward during an accident since it will move during normal acelerations and decelerations.
