What owners wrote
Explorer was impacted by second vehicle on left rear side, causing extensive damage to explorer and causing it to spin. Left side of seat back broke (I.e., vertical metal arm broke, I.e., metal separated), allowing seat back to collapse backward. The two 11-year old girls seat-belted in this seat were ejected rearward out from under their seat belts, exiting rear window(s). One was killed, other sustained serious head and other injuries. We are engaged in law suit with ford over this matter.
While backing into garage the driver's seat suddenly and forcefully fell back. The thick steel seat bolt responsible fro holding the seat securely had broken in half. When the seat collapsed the consumer lost some control of the vehicle which caused the driver's side of the vehicle to scrape against the garage.
