While driving on expressway at 60mph the driver's side seat back broke and fell back into the rear seat passenger. The dealer claims they cannot obtain new part to replace seat from ford motor company because part is discontinued. They would not suggest alternative repair. Contacted ford motor company and they could only suggest three phone numbersof companies that deal in discontinued parts. None of those places have the part either. Apparently ford isn't interested in repairing or providing a part to fix this vehicle. This vehicle also has the failing firestone wilderness at tires...can't find a dealer who has replacement tires yet either. I have heard of several other people who have had problems with seats breaking in explorers...in fact I think ford has issued a technical service bulletin covering repairs of this nature. They are aware that these seat backs do not hold up.
