Consumer Description

OUR FORD EXPLORER BOUGHT NEW IN 2008 WHICH IS STILL ON WARRANTY ( HAS 22500 EST. MILES ) DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT RETRACTS AND DOME LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AS IF IT HAD A MIND OF ITS OWN , MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE IF DRIVING AT NIGHT AND MY WIFE CAN'T REACH BRAKE OR GAS PEDAL CAUSING A LOT OF UNDO STRESS ON HER AND HER PASSENGERS. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR TAKEN TO THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY CANNOT FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIME TAKING THE CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO TRY TO REPAIR. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER GUEST DRIVERS OF OUR VEHICLE. IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND I FEEL SOME ACTION OUGHT TO BE TAKEN TO CORRECT THIS BEFORE WE ACCIDENTALLY HURT SOMEONE. DEALERSHIP IS CLAREMONT FORD, LINCOLN, MERCURY NEW HAMPSHIRE HAS A LEMON LAW 3 STRIKES YOUR OUT. *TR
