    Drivers seat rocks backwards about 5 inches upon acceleration and rocks forward when stopping. When it rocks backwards you feel as if the seat is going to go over backwards and you panic for a second before recovering. This is going to cause an accident. This is a common problem with ford edge driver seats.

    The driver's seat rocks when accelerating or braking, as if it has come loose. I have taken car to my mechanic to have it repaired, he says there is nothing loose for him to tighten. Has been doing this for the last several months.
