2013 Ford Edge Seats Problems

DRIVER'S SEAT BEGAN TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH WITH VEHICLE MOTION. SEAT IS POWER WITH MEMORY. DEALER STATES THAT ITS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NO RECALL OR TSB. QUOTED $1600 FOR REPLACEMENT. SEAT HAS NOW BEGAN TO MOVE FORWARD UNDER BRAKING CONDITIONS, AND AFT UNDER ACCELERATION. THIS IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION THAT COULD BE A MAJOR CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO AN ACCIDENT. UPON INSPECTION OF THE SEAT TRACK, THE GUIDE RAILS HAVE BEGAN SEPERATING AND HAVE BECOME LOOSE.

SEAT REAL EASE FOR REAR SEATS DOESN'T WORK. READING FORUMS MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE ISSUE AND THE FIX REQUIRES REMOVING SEATS AND REPLACING THE CABLE ON THE RELEASE MECHANISM. DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS I DIDN'T WANT TO REMOVE AND REPLACE SEAT BY MYSELF.

I DROVE FOR OVER 8 HOURS WITH THE SEAT WARMER ON HIGH AND I LITERALLY BURNED MY BOTTOM. I ENDED UP HAVING TO GO TO AN URGENT CARE A FEW DAYS LATER WHERE THEY PRESCRIBED ANTIBIOTICS AND A PRESCRIBED OINTMENT. IT HAD A BUG BLISTER WHICH BROKE AND NOW OPEN WOUND. IT IS DEFINITELY A BURN AND NOW TREATING FOR WOUND CARE.

DRIVERS SEAT ROCKS BACKWARDS ABOUT 5 INCHES UPON ACCELERATION AND ROCKS FORWARD WHEN STOPPING. WHEN IT ROCKS BACKWARDS YOU FEEL AS IF THE SEAT IS GOING TO GO OVER BACKWARDS AND YOU PANIC FOR A SECOND BEFORE RECOVERING. THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD EDGE DRIVER SEATS.

THE DRIVER'S SEAT ROCKS WHEN ACCELERATING OR BRAKING, AS IF IT HAS COME LOOSE. I HAVE TAKEN CAR TO MY MECHANIC TO HAVE IT REPAIRED, HE SAYS THERE IS NOTHING LOOSE FOR HIM TO TIGHTEN. HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS.

WHILE BRAKING THE DRIVER'S SEAT ROCKS BACK AND FORTH.

DRIVER SEAT ROCKS BACK AND FORTH WHEN ACCELERATING AND BRAKING. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS PERIODICALLY FOR THE PAST YEAR. SEEMS TO BE A REGULAR COMPLAINT FOR THIS VEHICLE BUT THERE IS NOT A RECALL.

THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT IS NOW ROCKING- FORWARD WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED AND BACKWARDS WHEN GAS IS APPLIED. THE SEAT IS NO LONGER MOVING INTO ALL OF THE POSITIONS IT IS SUPPOSED TO. THIS JUST STARTED HAPPENING THE LAST FEW DAYS. IT HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER YET AND ONLINE THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE- SINCE THE EDGE WAS FIRST MADE ALL MODELS ARE INCURRING THIS. IF THE SEATS BREAK THEN THAT COULD BE DISASTROUS.

FRONT SEAT MOVES BACK AND FRONT BROKE TRACK.

THE DRIVERS SEAT ROCKS/SHIFTS BACK AND FORTH WHEN TAKING OFF AND STOPPING. AFTER DOING RESEARCH THIS HAS COME UP AS A COMMON ISSUE WITH SIMILAR FORDS IN THE PAST FEW YEARS. SEEMS TO BE THE 'SEAT TRACK', IT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A FAULTY ITEM ON FORD EDGE MODELS ALL THE WAY FROM VERY BEGINNING OF VEHICLES HITTING THE MARKET,

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS EXTREMELY LOW CAUSING CONCERN THAT IF THE AIR BAG WAS TO DEPLOY, IT WOULD STRIKE HER IN THE FACE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT EQUIPPED WITH A SEAT ADJUSTMENT SWITCH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THEY COULD NOT ALTER THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 2,000. *TR UPDATED 4/29/13 *CN UPDATED 05/23/2013 *JS
