The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer for recall 03504 related to repairs of the driver's side seat bolt. The dealer promised to have vehicle for only a couple of hours, however the vehicle remained at dealer for one week.

problem #1

Mountaineer 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 58,600 miles
We were rear ended and both seats broke, flinging us into the back seat. We then went into the oncoming lane (because my wife could no longer reach the steering wheel or the brakes) and were hit head on. Complaint #1 - the seats should not have broken. Complaint #2 - the airbags never deployed.
