2008 Mercury MOUNTAINEER Seats Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	986154
Internal NHTSA #	10515789

Model	MOUNTAINEER
Model Year	2008
File date	01/12/12
Component	SEATS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	When you hit a bump while driving the driver's seat moves all the way back to the easy enter/exit position and the dome light comes on. I am a short person of 5' and when this happens i cannot reach the peddles and have to extend my arms all the way to reach the steering wheel. I have to reach down and manually move the seat back. Since my speed decreases suddenly i am afraid someone will rear end me one day. I understand that this is happening on more than one 2008 mercury mountaineers and to have it repaired will cost hundreds of dollars. I am retired with a disability and on a fixed income and cannot afford to have this fixed. This is a serious safety hazard and do not know why ford will not issue a recall. I hope no one is seriously or fatally injured because of this issue.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
