Q: Seat problem, seems like a quaity issue

asked by on November 02, 2015

I have a problem with my 2006 Ford Mustang that doesn’t affect safety or performance and yet still manages to be extremely inconvenient. You see, in a car with just 2 doors and 4 seats, you need passengers to pop the passenger seat forward and climb into the back. The handle that makes the seat do that? Yeah, that broke. How do I even repair that? Buy a new seat? Not too happy with this, my Mustang only has 50,000 miles on it! I have to let passengers in through my side now and I have to adjust the driver’s seat every time I drive it.
