Three problems related to seats have been reported for the 1999 Ford Explorer Sport. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Was driving around the city when I reach into my pocket to get my phone and hear a loud thump coming from the seat and the next thing I notice is the seat reclining all the way back. I was able to bring it back up by folding the exterior passenger seat to provide some sort of support. When I arrived home I tried inspecting what the issue was and saw a large fracture right next to the reclining mechanism. This is potentially a hazard that can one day cause a severe accident. I was lucky enough to have been driving slow but if I were to be in the freeway then it might have been something more serious. This large fracture seems to derive from a poorly designed seat that weak metal of some sort.
1999 Ford Explorer Sport drivers seat back unlatched itself while driving. Luckily only 20 mph! rear passenger drivers side seat is folded down forward to hold drivers seat in place, until I can find another used seat.
While driving on the highway the driver side seat back declined backwards. This resulted in the driver having poor visibility. Please provide more details. Ts.
