NHTSA Complaint #10040919 — 2001 FORD F SERIES

2001 FORD F-150. A WELD IN MY DRIVERS SEAT SNAPPED AND A CABLE HAS COME THROUGH THE SEAT. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS CONSIDERED " TRIM " AND NOT COVERED BY MY WARRANTY. I CALLED FORD DIRECTLY AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY STAND BY MY DEALERS DECISION. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS CAN BE CONSIDERED TRIM AND SINCE I CAN NO LONGER SIT ALL THE WAY IN MY SEAT I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS CAN BE CONSIDERED SAFE. WHEN I ASKED WHAT I SHOULD DO UNTIL MY ARBITRATION PAPERS COME, I WAS TOLD TO EITHER NOT DRIVE MY TRUCK OR BE VERY CAREFUL. ( NO KIDDING )
