I was driving home on a busy city street when I stop at a stop light to turn right. When I went to accelerate my mercury mountaineer when in to limp mode. As I inspected the SUV for problems I noticed the my engine/transmission wire harness was brittle and exposing bare wire and that the wires were touching each others cause them to short off the vehicle computer system and frying electrical components. It also caused the transmission to malfunction and shift wrong which in turn causing the torque converter to fail and destroy the transmission.

While driving my seat will randomly move back and forth as if I took the keys out. Thought something was wrong with my transmission but after having the garage put transmission fluid in it still feels like the transmission is messed up even though the garage says the transmission is fine.

When driving the vehicle at any speed the seat moves all the way back and the interior lights come on. This also happens when you brake or go over a bump. This is very dangerous to someone of my size because when the seat goes all the way back I can no longer touch the pedals. This is happening very often and I have googled it and I can see that a lot of other people who own this year make and model are having the same problems with their vehicle. I have taken it to several mechanics and ford dealers and nobody seems to be able to figure out what is wrong with it.

The same as other complaints except it is an ongoing problem. Easy exit feature activates on its own, dome light comes on at slow or moderate speed, sudden stops and turning. Sometimes it corrects itself and sometimes you have to manually adjust the seat. Very annoying and unsafe

Seat moved back for "easy exit" all vehicle components shut off and vehicle brakes locked up in the road then cut back on by itself and transmission jerked into gear like someone rear ended us! Very scary and unsafe with my 10 month old in the vehicle!
