 Front passenger seat is power controlled. during a hard brake to avoid a collision the seat went into a full recline position. the seat belt would not have restrained a passenger if one had been present. seat was working fine when i went to the dealer. could this happen again? what would have caused it? nothing touched those power buttons. car is 2000 mercury villager. mary hixson. *nm

 I purchased a 2000 mercury villager bran new. at around 8,000 miles i would get a sickly sweet smell with the air conditioner on. i complained but neither ford nor the dealer could tell me anything or find anything. later it gor so bad the smell was on my breath and it triggered a bronchial infection that lasted for three months. since then i have found that the dealer knew it was a mold build up in the air conditioner and he has been spraying with ananti fungal treatment. this clears it for a while, but not permanently. i now have a bathroom cleaner that i sprayed in and that seems to also work.*ak
