The driver seat bracket snapped in two places.
- Lincoln Park, MI, USA
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 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?

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 Ford 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.

This year model is a lemon. Ford knows this. I have had two recalls on car. I had to replace my head gaskets which cost me around 1,000 dollars. It took Ford months to refund my money. I bought the car knew it had a chip in the hood. When the dealer repaired it they left tape under the hood. I didn't now about the tape until I tried to trade my car in and they found the tape. The dealer told me he felt the car had been wreck and repaired. Well there goes the trade in value of my car. I called and E-mailed Ford about all of these problems and all I get is I am sorry that you have had such a bad experience with Ford. We hope in the future you have a better one..I will never buy another Ford car. Every car they build has major problems. They take your money and in return you get a piece of junk.

Seat track on driver's side broke in half, causing seat to wobble back and forth on track. Vehicle was taken to dealership. Seat track was being replaced at owner's expense. New track not the same as the old one.

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.
