Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A USED 1993 FORD CROWN VIC APPROXIMATELY 4 YEARS AGO, WHILE I EXPECTED I WOULD HAVE TO PUT MONEY INTO REPAIRS THE ONE THING I DIDN'T EXPECT WOULD BE HAVING TO REPAIR A SEAT MOUNTING BRACKET DUE TO POOR WORKMANSHIP & OR MATERIALS. AFTER LOOKING ON THE INTERNET AT VARIOUS SITES I FOUND THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO, MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT FRAME SHEARING AWAY FROM THE BOLTS IN CROWN VICS.I TRIED CONTACTING BOTH THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP & THE CORPORATE CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPT WITH NO SATISFACTORY RESOLUTION TO THIS MATTER. THIS APPEARS TO BE A SERIOUS DEFECT FLAW IN CROWN VICS THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS IT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY IN AN ACCIDENT. I BELIEVE MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS ALSO NEED TO BE LOOKED AT ON THIS ISSUE AS I'VE SEEN SOME POSTS ON THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THAT MAKE & MODEL. *TR
