This is a copy of the e mail:: product safety alert! I want to first state: I do not currently own a Ford vehicle. The vehicle that concerns me is 1999 Mustang with power driver's seat with switches mounted on the front of the seat (and like vehicles) I was recently installing a remote car starter/alarm for a customer who owns a 1999 Ford Mustang convertible, and I was positioned under the driver's side dashboard (on my back/side, in the footwell) and was securing a module under the dashboard and I moved slightly, and the electric seat started to move forward (the side of my torso made contact with the adjustment switch) at that point the seat was powering forward pinning the switch to my torso in the forward position (I was unable to reach it) I was being crushed! and could not stop the seat! my neck was bent at an unnatural angle and my face was coming in contact with a rather hot shop light that was positioned near the accelerator petal. I was alone in the shop, luckily I was able to sound the horn and get assistance from a fellow employee who was in our showroom, at the point he rescued me (by stuffing his hand behind my back and relieving the pinned switch, luckily he was familiar with the switch location) I was pinned between the knee bolster and the seat in (apx a 6" space) and under the steering wheel, and I am a large man of 290lbs! the seat was still continuing to move forward. I was unable to free myself and could not breath or even yell for help because my body was so compacted, when I exhaled I was unable to inhale again to yell out. At this venture I still have discomfort in my back, neck, and ribs from this incident (I am not suggesting you contact your lawyers) but I am asking you to please alert your technicians, owners, etc. , who might be put in this same deadly/dabilitating situation. Contact your design dept. For switch relocation etc. It is extremely dangerous! I hope that you will return this email/take action on this very dangerous event.
