| On return from the store to the car discovered my seat back had collapsed.since it was new years eve and i had a small child to care for i went to a local repair shop,due to dealer shop inconvenient hours.they took drivers seat out and discovered the main bolt holding seat back assembly ws stripped,thus it just fell out.they had to retap a new hole.contacted ford through a letter and in a follow up phone call was told basically they weren't responsible for replacement.my biggest concern,besides the cost which i still don't feel as i am responsible for,is that in the event of a crash it likely would have lead to very serious injuries to myself and any passengers.the seat has never been modified nor is weight an issue. | |||
