Description of the problem | 2019 ford ranger xltrear seat back locking problem. Ford has issued a tsb on the difficulty of locking the rear seat back into a locked position.. Extreme closing force must be used to securely lock the seatback. If not properly locked the seat back would probably pitch forward in extreme braking or a accident. This could cayse injury to rear seat passengers or others in the vehicle. It should not take a full size adult male using all possible force to latch the seatback. Ford forums have also expressed this problem. As it is a lifesaving issue the nthsa should immediately force ford to design a proper latching mechanism before someone is seriously hurt or killed and then have it installed for free as a safety issue. Ford current solution is not a proper repair. Shaving the bumper grommets a tiny bit is not the solution.. Surely fords other truck vehicles dont have this issue. Please do something asap before lives are lost. Thank you |
