Consumer Description

ON THE 8 PASSENGER FORD EXPEDITION, THE STEP DOWN LEDGE INSIDE THE VEHICLE, IS TOO NARROW WHEN THE SECOND ROW SEAT IS IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION. THE DROP DOWN IS SLIGHT AND THE WIDTH IS NARROW. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY BACKWARDS. OUR VEHICLE CONTAINS 2 BOOSTER SEATS ONE CAR SEAT AND ONE INFANT CARRIER. THIS BEING THE CASE, WE ARE USUALLY STEPPING OUT BACKWARDS WITH A CHILD/INFANT IN HAND. I INJURED MY ELBOW BRACING MYSELF SO THAT I DIDN'T DROP MY 7 WEEK OLD AFTER SLIPPING ON THIS LEDGE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST SUCH INCIDENT. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE TO DO THIS IN THIS VEHICLE.*AK
