1 Seats problem

Failure Date: 04/24/2021

My Mkx driver seat and passenger seat keep rocking back and forth. My fianc� was driving 40 mph we start to slow down on a city street and as he is stopping his seat rocks back and his foot comes of the break and almost hits the back of another car. I'm sitting in the passenger seat also feeling my seat move as well. I look over at him and see his face and you can tell he got scared for a second because he is wondering why his seat rocked back and he almost hit a car in front of him. It is also happening when accelerating. Making it a safety hazard as well because you are slowing down while the driver behind us is speeding up and could possibly hit us because our foot is no longer on the gas.
