Mid/rear Seats Assembly Problems of Ford Ranger

I had noted several months ago that the back os the back seat would not latch leaving it to swing forward when coming to a stop and slamming back when accelerating. When I checked the latch I could not remedy the problem. I brought my truck into capital Ford in carson city for some other problem and asked them to take a look at the seat problem. After other repairs were done, my service advisor, joseph conroy advised me that the repair of the seat would cost approx. $400-$500. Conroy also related that the latch part would need to be replaced. I asked what could have caused the part to fail and he replied by saying that the part had gone through a re-design and a service bulletin for the repair was sent out to dealerships. When I said that this appeared to be a safety recall issue and that I had not received any notice of the part redesign, he told me to contact Ford. I contacted Ford and was assigned to "laportia" as my advisor and she is working towards securing financial assistance to pay for the repair, but no interest in the safety aspect of the complaint. My truck's original warranty ended just this past December but is still covered by an extended warranty.

Rear seat latch is defective, does not lock in place and if in a crash will injure occupants in backseat. Backseat came forward when I hit brakes to avoid collision. Luckily no one was in backseat.

2019 Ford Ranger xltrear seat back locking problem. Ford has issued a TSB on the difficulty of locking the rear seat back into a locked position. . Extreme closing force must be used to securely lock the seatback. If not properly locked the seat back would probably pitch forward in extreme braking or a accident. This could cayse injury to rear seat passengers or others in the vehicle. It should not take a full size adult male using all possible force to latch the seatback. Ford forums have also expressed this problem. As it is a lifesaving issue the nthsa should immediately force Ford to design a proper latching mechanism before someone is seriously hurt or killed and then have it installed for free as a safety issue. Ford current solution is not a proper repair. Shaving the bumper grommets a tiny bit is not the solution. . Surely Fords other truck vehicles dont have this issue. Please do something ASAP before lives are lost. Thank you.

2019 Ford Ranger purchased, noticed slight pulsation when stopping highway or city. Continued to get worse to a point where I became afraid to drive it because twice on heavy braking pulsation was sever and I was afraid was not going to stop. Situation was worse more truck was driven. Notified service advisor of issue and that I had been really careful but then I notified him again and advised I was fearful of driving vehicle especially on wet road. Took picture of left rear rotor thru wheel holes and found black spots in rotor. Took truck in on March 19th, service advisor called and said the mechanic was going to have all four rotors turned. I told him that was unacceptable, the rotors and brakes need to be replaced. The situation was escalated to Ford motor company, today March 26th the service advisor called and left message they were replacing rear rotors. Have not been able to reach them back because I feel they need to also replace brake pads, for a proper mating process. He never mentioned front rotors agin as in previous dicussion. I orivinally advised them they should replace all rotors and brake pads. Them tellong me they were going to turn all rotors makes me think that all the rotors are warped. Also rear seat upper portion when released to downward position, is very hard to relock in upper position, which if not locked to cause seatbelted passengers nd seat itself to fly forward in a frontal crash.

Entering the truck I leaned back while getting seat belt on. Seat support broke causing the seat to fall back against the back seats. Vehicle was stationary, thank goodness.
