2013 Ford Fusion seats problems

“Backseat 60 split / seat was folded down and is locked in position-unable to return to usable seat position . This has happened several times . To fix - you have to take out seat and use special tool to UNLOCK seat belt from base.”

“1. Im driving and all of a sudden my car will not leave the park position . It turns out that theres a recall on said problem and when i called dealership to have them tow vehicle they said i have to pay for tow. Even though its a manufactor recall. And I get car serviced regularly at dealership. This clearly not my fault as a consumer so why am i a absorbing cost. I calked for road side they gave me run around and numbers which no one answers . While my car is not working and thank god i was at a stop sign when this happened it could have been worst. And i must pay for something that is not my fault. Clearly not how this works when there is a recall. 2. Another is that i found with this car was i let back seat down to put my grand babys stroller in and seat in back wont let up on hybrid due to all the wiring under neath and in trunk. Apparently u must leave middle seat belt in latched position because that what allows u to let seat up. The car seat is supposed to go in middle area. This is clearly poor nanufactoring. But yet they charge a hundred dollars to let seat up .also a manufactoring issue. Tge solution that was given was never let back seat down. But…”

“THE DASH LIT UP NOTIFYING OF A PARKING BRAKE ERROR WHILE DRIVING. GOT HOME, PARKED CAR, TURNED CAR OFF. WENT INSIDE FOR ABOUT TWO MINUTES. WHEN CAME BACK OUTSIDE, THERE WAS SMOKE ROLLING OUT OF THE WINDOW. PUT FIRE OUT. AFTER EXAMINING, THE FIRE APPEARED TO HAVE STARTED FROM SOMETHING ELECTRICAL IN THE CENTER COUNSEL ON THE RIGHT SIDE. IT CAUGHT THE SEAT ON FIRE, MELTED THE COUNSEL, AND THE ROOF. NO SMOKING OF ANY SORT HAS BEEN ALLOWED IN MY CAR SINCE I GOT IT. IT WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE FIRE STARTED, BUT IT WAS IMMEDIATELY AFTER BEING DRIVEN.*DT*JB”

“REAR SEATS GET STUCK WHEN LOWERED DOWN AND WILL NOT RELEASE TO RETURN BACK UP. TO BE SPECIFIC, THE LEFT BACKSEAT AND CENTER SEAT (AS THEY ARE ATTACHED) ARE THE ISSUE.”

“SEAT BELT LOCKS WHEN FOLDING DOWN REAR SEAT BACK MAKING THE SEAT AND SEATBELT UNUSABLE. THIS OCCURS WHEN STATIONARY AND ALSO WHEN IN MOTION. AND, IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME.”

“CRASHNO FIRENO INJURIES0 DEATHS0 WHEN I PUT THE BACK SEATS DOWN TO CARRY ITEMS THE BACK SEAT WILL NOT GO BACK IN PLACE. YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE BOTTOM SEAT OUT AND REMOVE THE CENTER SEATBELT BOLT WHICH IS ATTACHED TO THE FRAME AND RELEASE THE PRESSURE ONCE YOU DO THIS THE RETURNS TO A NORMAL POSITION IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE MIDDLE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR SEEMS DEFECTIVE. IT WAS STATIONARY. THIS HAS OCCURRED A NUMBER OF TIMES.”
