The contact owns a 2007 Mercury Mountaineer. While driving approximately 40 mph, the front driver's side seat moved backward and forward independently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician was able to duplicate the failure and recommended replacing the ignition. The technician advised that if the failure continued, then the seating harness would have to be replaced. The contact had the technician disconnect the seat. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 52,000.

While driving on a few different occasions now, my driver's seat which is power operated moved backwards on its own and the interior lights came on. I had to readjust the seat myself and then the interior lights went out once the seat was readjusted. The first time it happened I thought it was just a fluke as I have only owned this vehicle a little over a month. It has happened maybe 4-5 times now. Today I was going around a curve in the road and it happened. It really could have caused an accident because it was on the interstate and I was traveling 55-60 mph.

While driving at any speed the seat will go back to its parked position and the interior light comes on as if the car was shut off. You touch the key ignition and the seat goes back to driving position and the light goes out.

In regards to fitting two backless booster seats in the middle row of a 60-40 fold bench: On the passenger side- the seat does not slope on the sides and the buckle has a cloth strap and it is flexible and moves out of the slot to fit to his buckle. The seat is slightly wider than the drivers side. Driver's side- the seat is more contoured and the buckle is affixed to the seat and does not move or come up because of the 60-40 split. When the booster seat is placed out of the edge of the Contour on the drivers side- it completely covers the buckle. Therefore, one must sit the booster unsafely at an angle where one side is higher than the other to get the buckle to fit in. I am certain in the event I slam on my brakes or get rearended, one child's seat would go flying, whereas the other seat fits safe and secure (passenger side).
