I've owned the car 4 years, decided to haul something, put the back seat down and it won't go back up. Seems the middle seat belt is stuck.

Left side bolster of driver seat easily breaks. Cannont find a non- broken one at any salvage yard. And no local Ford and Lincoln dealer wants to fix it because in the event of having to replace the seat in order to fix the seat. They would have to order dozens of small parts. Even a local body shop refused to fix it because they couldn't find me a used one without that bolster broken. In my case I was leaning back to get something out of the back seat and it broke. I do this all the time in other cars and never have this trouble. I only weigh 150lbs. I believe that this is a saftey issue and would like to know why this happens only to the left bolster. The seat will look normal untill you move the bolster back and forth.

I purchased a used 2013 Lincoln Mkz. As of October 11,2014. It has been to the dealership a total of 11 times due to the following problems... key fab, recall 14S21 senor air bag, recall 15S16, recall 15S14 replace power steering bolts, replace air conditioner in the car, key fab, redo recall for door latches, phone & radio device, driver front seat moved up & down & back & forth on it's own. Car was putting itself in park. Recall 15S16, center read check lights, headlights are now not coming on and I just picked up today. So now a new problem. I want Lincoln motor company to repurchase this auto back. I feel very unsafe with driving this car. My family & I value my life. All of these problems started 9 months after I purchased. October 20, 2017. This is quite concerning. That I'm afraid to drive this auto
