WHEN THE LEVER THAT ALLOWS THE BACK SEATS TO COME DOWN IS PULLED, THE SEATS COME DOWN EXTREMELY QUICKLY, DANGEROUSLY FAST. THEY APPEAR TO BE ON A SPRING ACTION. ONE OF MY SONS PULLED ON THE LEVER AND MY OTHER SON'S HEAD WAS HIT BY THE SEAT, AND HE SUFFERED A CONCUSSION! I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT WAS BUILT THAT WAY!!
AT A LOW SPEED ABRUPT STOP ON A SECONDARY ROW, THE SECOND ROW BENCH SEAT (IT'S SPLIT 60/40; THE 60 SIDE) CAME LOOSE FROM THE FLOOR ATTACHMENT, CAUSING A REAR FACING CAR SEAT TO HIT THE BACK OF THE FRONT SEAT. THIS WAS NOT A TETHER MALFUNCTION. IT IS A DEFECT IN THE ATTACHMENT BETWEEN THE BENCH SEAT ITSELF AND THE LOCKING MECHANISM ON THE FLOOR. AT THIS POINT I CANNOT SECURE THE SEAT BECAUSE OF THIS BROKEN PART. (THIS SEAT IS DESIGNED TO FOLD FORWARD FOR STORAGE/INGRESS-EGRESS FOR 3RD ROW SEAT PASSENGERS). FORD HAS TO DATE BEEN UNRESPONSIVE ALTHOUGH I BOUGHT A PREMIUM CARE WARRANTY THAT IS STILL ACTIVE. THEY ARE NOT ADDRESSING A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE.
