Complaint
1992
STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
THE VEHICLE WAS DISCOVERED IN THE MORNING WITH THE FRONT RIGHT FENDER RESTING ALMOST ON THE TIRE. INVESTIGATION SHOWED THE SPRING SUPPORT BROKEN AND RESTING AGAINST THE AFT WHEEL WELL. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT HAD FRONT END DAMAGE AND HAS BEEN RUST PROOFED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE SUPPORT APPEARES TO HAVE CORROSION FAILED. THE REPAIRING DEALER [FORD] HAD NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE.
1997
SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:RECLINER
I ENTERED THE VEHICLE AND SAT IN THE DRIVERS SEAT. AS I WAS ABOUT TO DRIVE, THE SEATBACK COLLAPSED INTO THE REAR, AND WOULD NOT RELATCHED I HAVE AN EXTENDED CAP SO THE SEAT FELL ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE REAR FLOOR AND WOULD NOT STAY UPRIGHT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THE FRAME OF THE SEAT BROKE AND THAT I NEED A NEW SEAT. I AM WAITING FOR AN ESTIMATED COST FROM THEM. THEY ALSO STATE THIS IS NOT COVERED BY THE EXTNDED WARRANTY. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THIS IS FIXED. I ONLY WEIGHT 170 LBS SO I DONT GIVE THE SEAT ANY UNUSUAL AMOUNT OF STRESS. *AK
