THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT KEEPS REPEATEDLY BREAKING. I AM NOT A LARGE PERSON I DO NOT WEIGH A LOT AND I AM NOT ROUGH OR CLUMSY SO I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE SEAT KEEPS BEAKING. I HAVE INJURED MY BACK AND NECK ON SEVERAL OCASSIONS BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED SO FREQUENTLY THAT I AM NOW HOPING THAT A NEW SEAT MAY FAIR BETTER. I SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND IT HAPPENES WITH SUCH REGULARITY THAT I AM CERTAIN THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER BRONCO OWNERS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME REOCURRING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR SEATS. THIS CAN BEA POTENTIALLY SERIOUS DEFECT IN THE SEAT'S SYSTEM. ALL IT TAKES IS FOR THE SEAT TO GO OFF ITS TRACK, COME LOOSE, OR SNAP BACK WHILE DRIVING AND THEIR WILL BE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND I AM SURE THIS HAS ALREADY OCCURRED.
WHEN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER IS PLACED IN THE PARK POSITION, THE PARK PAWL DOES NOT ALWAYS ABUT OR ENGAGE THE PARK GEAR.
Consequence & remedy

ALL OF THESE CONDITIONS CANRESULT IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
Remedy: REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION WITH A NEW PARK PAWL.
