HAVE NOTICED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION THAT THE SUPERLATCH ON OUR XTSL IS LOOSENING TO A VERY UNSAFE LEVEL. IT IS INSTALLED FORWARD-FACING AND CHILD DOES NOT TOUCH THAT PART OF THE SEAT GETTING IN OR OUT. WHEN I'VE CHECKED THE SECURITY OF THE SEAT, IT WILL WOBBLE AT THE BOTTOM BACK & FORTH BY 3-5 INCHES. TIGHTENING IT ONLY FIXES IT TEMPORARILY SO IT IS NOT AN INSTALLATION PROBLEM, IT IS A FAILURE OF THE SUPERLATCH. I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY CHILD'S SAFETY IN THE EVENT OF A CAR ACCIDENT. I WILL BE SWITCHING THE SEAT BACK TO OUR OTHER CAR, A 2010 FUSION SEL AS I DID NOT NOTICE IT IN THAT CAR, BUT I WILL BE MONITORING IT VERY CLOSELY. (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2002, MAKE=FORD, MODEL=ESCAPE). *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MYTOUCH SYSTEM FAILED AND WOULD NOT ALLOW HER TO MAKE A CALL. IN ADDITION, THE MYTOUCH SYSTEM WOULD NOT PROPERLY RESPOND TO COMMANDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR TESTING ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE MYTOUCH CHIP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT SOMEONE WOULD CALL THE CONTACT AT A LATER DATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,083.
