Front Seat Recliner Problems of Ford Taurus

A seat back failure happened to my mothers Ford Taurus during a rear end collision, which caused her to loose control of the car because she couldn't reach the brake or steering wheel after the seat back broke. What should of been a minor accident turned into a very major accident. Automobile manufacturers should make cars that's seats don't break with the smallest rear collision.

: the contact stated the vehicle accelerated uncontrollably to 20 mph while in reverse which resulted in a collision. The vehicle's transmission was put in reverse to back into a parking spot when full acceleration engaged. The vehicle went over an embankment and collided with a tree. The vehicle kept accelerating after the collision until the contact shut the ignition off. The throttle control was not controllable with braking. The fire department was contacted and extracted the 3 injured passengers from the rear window. The manufacturer was not contacted and a police report was taken. Updated 09/15/06.

The drivers seat of our Ford Taurus is broken. The seat back moves forward and backward independent of the seat adjustment track. This movement requires the constant adjustment of the drivers seat belt which is very distracting to the driver which increases the chance of an accident. I am also concerned that the seat may not hold up in an accident. The dealer I took this to benna Ford in superior WI refused to replace the seat. I have also contacted Ford corporate and they have also refused to replace the seat. The seat should be covered under Fords 3 year, 36,000 mile warranty as the problem was shown to the dealer before the 36,000 mile mark.
