Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE DOME LIGHT WENT ON AND THE POWER SEAT STARTED TO MOVE BACK. I WAS UNABLE TO REACH THE BRAKES AND THIS NEARLY RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH MY 2 KIDS IN THE CAR. I HAVE OWNED 2 OTHER MOUNTAINEERS AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. THIS IS A TRUE SAFETY ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AGAIN OVER THANKSGIVING 2011 AND I WILL BE CALLING FORD ASAP. *TR
