Front Seat Power Adjust problems of the 2007 Mercury Mountaineer

The contact owns a 2007 Mercury Mountaineer. While driving at unknown speeds, the driver seat would move back independently and prevented the contact from reaching the accelerator and brake pedals. The failure occurred if the keys were inadvertently touched or when driving over a bump. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing, but was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 70,000.

The contact owns a 2007 Mercury Mountaineer. The contact stated while driving at unknown speeds, the driver's seat moved in reverse independently and without warning. The failure recurred several times. The contact mentioned that the driver seat switch had been replaced previously but the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to a dealer. The technician verified that the driver seat switch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.

While driving the power drivers seat began to move back as if the car had been shut off. It has occurred several times. I have found that by moving the ignition key the seat returns to the driving position. The danger is twofold 1. It puts the driver in an unsafe position. 2. It could easily cause a severe accident. I am taking the car to a Ford dealer to have it corrected.
