Consumer Description
DRIVER SEAT I HAVE A FORD FUSION 2013 THAT I PURCHASED BRAND NEW AND HAVE ALREADY HAD MANY ISSUES (SOME RECALLS AND SOME NOT). I AM CURRENTLY HAVING ISSUES WITH MY DRIVER SEAT MOTOR THAT MOVES SEAT FORD AND BACK FOR LEG ROOM. THE SIDE OF THE SEAT CLOSEST TO MIDDLE CONSOLE (RIGHT SIDE) SEEMS STUCK AND WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD. THIS RESULTS IN A DIAGONALLY ANGLED SEAT. I AM NOT A TALL PERSON, THEREFORE THIS ISSUES MAKES ME UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND SEE SEVERAL OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. WE BROUGHT IT INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE CAR AND THE COST FOR SAID ISSUE IS OVER $2,000.00. SEEMS LIKE IF MULTIPLE PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE THEN THERE WAS CLEARLY SOMETHING WRONG FROM THE BEGINNING. ALSO- I SEE THERE IS ANOTHER SEAT RECALL FROM 2014 (FRONT SEAT BACKREST REPLACEMENT) TO WHICH THE MOTOR AND SEAT ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS ARE REMOVED/REPLACED/OR ADJUSTED. LEADS ME TO THINK THIS MAY BE AN ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS RECALL. I AM DISHING OUT THE COST OF THIS REPAIR..I DO NOT HAVE ANY OTHER OPTION RIGHT NOW. BUT I AM GREATLY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS ISSUES AND FORD DENYING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUES EVEN THOUGH SEVERAL FORD CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. SADLY, THIS MAKES ME DISTRUST PURCHASING A FORD VEHICLE AGAIN.
