| Description of the problem | Discovered that the 3rd row seat was loose. Looking closer found that the u shaped bolt the seat attached to was loose and that the wheel well, where the bolt connects,had corroded. Found that ford does have a recall on this problem but it does not cover kentucky where i live. It does cover all of the states north of kentucky. I feel that ford should cover all states since this is a safety concern. |
