Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The left front seat bracket weld broke free and caused my seat to lean to the right. i had brought the vehicle in for the seat back recall. some time later i had noticed that the seat felt loose. the fasteners broke off the end of the front drive rod which allowed the seat bracket to slip off the front drive rod..when i brought this to the dealer to evaluate the said that the whole seat track assembly would have to be replaced a cost of $586.00. after some investigation i find that this problem appears to be common with these vehicles. i notified ford and am waiting a response from them. *jb
