I’ve noticed that when you let someone into the back seat and use the upper lever (close to the head rest) that it doesn’t return the seat to the position it was in before you let them in. In other 2 door cars I’ve been in the upper lever was just used to let the rear passenger in and out, but didn’t change the seating position of the front driver/passenger once it was released and the seat was put back into position. Is this normal on the stangs? Is there anything that can be done, it’s a pain having to readjust my seat everytime I put something in the back seat or have a 3rd passenger.

Thanks,

Matt

Mine does the same thing. I guess we could pile em on top of each other in the front seat!

I think this is one of the many reasons the car is so cheaply priced. i miss my climate control a whole lot more, but i do not let anyone ride in the back except my kid and he rides on Mom's side

i broke my lever a while back. it was my fault, not warranty. its a $36 part. (only $24 for me) still too much for such a simple piece.
