Consumer Description

WHEN EITHER ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT WILL MAKE A POPPING SOUND AND MOVE (SHORT DISTANCES). THE MANUFACTURER HAS CLAIMED IT HAPPENS ON ALL 1999 EXPLORER MODELS (EDDIE BAUER VERSION) WITH ELETRONIC SEATS. I AM WORRIED THAT THE SEAT COULD BE DESIGNED INCORRECTLY AND POSSIBLY MOVE FORWARD DURING AN ACCIDENT SINCE IT WILL MOVE DURING NORMAL ACELERATIONS AND DECELERATIONS.
