On 11/6/2025 we were rear ended at a dead stop. The posted speed limit was 35mph. The Other driver that hit us did not see us or attempt to stop, this vehicle was a hummer. The car was totaled. The front passenger seat collapsed, tilted backwards in a laying down position during impact. Injuries did occur and are being treated. After the wreck I attempted to raise the electric seat , you can hear the motor trying to lift the seat but the seat would not move.

Rear passenger seat belt will not release lock/tension/broken. Will not allow rear occupants to buckle in. Safety issue. Seems to happen on most 2013+ ford vehicles specifically trims like titanium with a 'inflatable belt" This issue should be recalled free of charge, It is a major safety issue not to be able to use a seatbelt. The best remedy would be inspect and replacement of broken components. Both occurred over 80k miles one being a truck (entirely different vehicle)

I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS NOW. FIRST THE SEATS STOPPED MOVING BACK AND FORTH. NO WARRANTY ON THE CAR SO TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL FORD AND THEY SAID IT WAS OFF ITS TRACK.

GOT LOUDER EVERY TIME I STARTED THE CAR. SO ONCE AGAIN TOOK IT TO MY NEARBY FORD. THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID MY FLEX PLATE HAS CRACKED ALL AROUND AND THAT IT WOULD BE A $1600 REPAIR.

VERY UPSETTING THAT I WILL...

ALTHOUGH MY CAR'S VIN DID NOT HAVE A RECALL, I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS EVERYONE ELSE THAT HAD A RECALL.
