| Seats problems |
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? the 2nd row seats have an electrical switch to slide and slightly fold the seat for entry to the 3rd row. This switch seems to get stuck and will randomly slide and tilt the seat forward while driving as well as while stationary. While driving, the seat can hit the back of the driver seat very hard and cause disorientation. The vehicle has not yet been reproduced or inspected by a dealer or other service center. The vehicle has not been inspected by manufacturer, police, insurance rep, or any other organization. There were no warnings or messages prior to failure, this car I purchased used and the symptom was presenter as soon as I drove off the lot.
Safety issue that occurs while driving that nearly caused me to drive off rd multiple times, has been reported by others on Lincoln forum & appears to be pervasive safety issue. 2nd row seat automatically folds down, moves up & slams into back of drivers seat, even while driving. Happened sev times, twice at night while on hwy doing 70mph. Had to pull off hwy, push seat back & relatch. 2 hrs later, it happened again. Previously, dealer looked at but couldn’t id cause. Now, tech reports button on top of 2nd row seat was stuck down even though it ‘looks’ like it’s not. Some have had dealer replace the button but after a few mos the new one gets stuck. Others report theirs is stuck down & since car’s out of warranty, they need to pay to fix it (to avoid an accident). Urging NHTSA to investigate as this is a significant safety concern.
