| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: (1.) my car is a 1992 ford, crown victoria lx. - i got into the vehicle and leaned back on the back of the seat to get something out out of my pants pocket. as i pressed on the back of the seat there was a metalic "snap" sound and the back of the seat flopped back 3 to 4 inches on the driver door side. later on viewing the seat from the front of the car in front of the brake peddle i was able to determing that a welded in circular, threaded, metal, tapped fastener, (a custom made nut) had torn through the pressed metal fram that attached it to the motorized portion of the seat. the resulting hole in the pressed metal frame component was about one inch in diameter. (2) the failure of the seat makes the vehicle impossible to drive. (3.) i have checked for recalls and found none relating to the seat except for an electrical failure. i haven't repaired the vehicle as yet but i will likely go to a automobile recycling yard and look for another seat. of course inspecting first for the same failure. also, as near as i can tell this vehicle was never in an accident . and it only has 84,000. miles on it.*ak |
