2020 Ford Transit Seats

The seats have sank into the springs making it undriveable. This has happened on all our Ford Transit Vans. Ford dealerships won't repair because they are now out of warranty but this was reported prior to warranty expiration but we were told parts were not available.

Front drivers seat cushion sagging no good for almost 1 and a half years. I bought replacement cushions for over $200 each. This is due to a broken seat suspension mat and the only way to fix it is to buy the seat track for $600 plus dollars. I found this Manufacture communications number TSB 21-2353. I have a total of 6 2020 Transits and they all the same problem. 1FTBW3U8XLKA17017 1FTBW3U83LKA17022 1FTBW3U80LKB05414 1FTBW3U8XLKB05419 1FTBW3U80LKA65495

Seat collapse. Available to be inspection. Unable to see over wheel or reach acceleration or brake petals. Air bag light comes on due to seat cutting it or disconnecting it when collapses. Dealership. No.

I bought this vehicle in Sept 2020 and have had this issue since day one. The drivers seat creates a bulge about half-way up the seat back when the seat warms up either with the heated seat feature or sunlight and pushes me forward out of the safety of the side seat bolsters. The passenger seat does not have this issue and has a slight concave shape to it for proper support. The Ford dealer has replaced the lumbar support system and "wrapped" the lever inside the seat back to reduce any protrusions. I now can feel that padding which adds to the bulge that pushes me forward. The Ford rep says they have not been able to duplicate the concern. I have asked for someone to drive the vehicle for a period of time so they too can notice how the bulge gets bigger as the seat heats up. The rep says there is nothing more they can do since the problem can't be duplicated. So, I am asking for your help since I feel very unsafe when I have to drive this due to the bulge. This is from the Ford Rep- "[XXX], Good morning. I do apologize for not getting back with you as I said I would. Ford Pro has been experiencing unexpected high call volume for several weeks now. We are actively working to address that issue. I did speak with S/A [XXX] at Monaco & Sons Motor Sales just a few minutes ago. He advised the wheel repair shop has not yet returned the wheel as they said may be done as early as last Friday or Monday at the latest. I asked [XXX] about the driver seat, and he states they have not been able to reproduce the concern you reported, they have also compared it to other Transits at their dealership and find your seat to be similar. Until or unless they are able to verify a concern that is due to a factory defect in the seat or components, they will not be able to address this further. I will schedule my next follow up for Monday, 12/13/21. Barring any unforeseen issues, the wheel should be repaired and your vehicle should be back with you before then."
