Consumer Description
I OWN A 2000 FORD SPORT EXPLORER. MY SEAT ON THE DRIVER SIDE BROKE A BOLT. THE SAME BOLT THAT IS ON RECALL FROM THE 2002 FORD SPORT EXPLORER. IF I HAD A 2002 THEN IT WOULD BE COVERED BY A RECALL, BUT SINCE IT IS A 2000, IT IS NOT COVERED. THE PROBLEM COSTS $200.00 (199.19) TO GET MINE FIXED. I THINK THIS IS UNFAIR SINCE OBVIOUSLY IT IS A PROBLEM THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS ALREADY ISSUED A RECALL ON FOR A NEW MODEL. MY SEAT WOULD NOT SIT UP STRAIGHT, AND IT IS THE EXACT SAME BOLT ACCORDING TO A SERVICE EMPLOYEE AT NORTH CENTRAL FORD IN DALLAS, TX. RECALL NUMBER CONCERNING THIS BOLT IS 3V281000. *AK
