On my vehicle a bold on the driver side seat has broken causing additional damage to the seat. The tubular part inside is cracked and needs to be replaced. Apparently there was a recall on the bolt that broke, but I never received a recall notice in the mail. Ford is stating this was sent to me 6 times. I do not recall ever receiving a notice. Ford will not authorize the dealer to repair this at no cost to me. I have since talked with several people at the customer service # provided to me by the dealership, and still have no resolution. . . Other than they will replace the bolt that broke. . . Not the rest caused by this broken bolt.

When using the recline seat handle, the seat would lurch forward, this caused a minor head injury. While the consumer was lowering the middle back second row seat she bent over the seat to gain access to the release lever. This action positioned the right side of the consumer's face level with the shoulder harness assembly. When the lever was released the seat sprung forward with enough force to crush the consumer's right eye. The consumer no longer has vision in her right eye.

I received a recall notice for my 1998 Mercury Mountaineer for a seat recliner bolt. I made an appointment with my dealership. They told me that thy could not repair and do the recall as the seat would not recline. The lever to recline the seat broke off in my hand about six months ago. I figured that was the shabby craftsmanship that was being repaired. Now I have an auto still in need of safety repair and the dealership refuses to fix it. I have call Mercury directly and they told me its up to the dealer.
