LINCOLN MKX Seats

LINCOLN MKX 2010 Safety Review #10486682

LINCOLN MKX 2010 car safety problem was reported on Dec 01, 2012.LINCOLN MKX 2010, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with SEATS . I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE RIGHT PLACE TO PRESENT THIS ISSUE, BUT WILL EXPLAIN MY CONCERN HERE. I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE LOCATION OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT LOCATION IN MY LINCOLN MKX. I AM 6'2" TALL AND HAVE LONG LEGS. I HAVE HAD A KNEE REPLACEMENT WHICH LEFT ME WITH REDUCED RANGE OF MOTION IN MY LEG. MY ISSUE IS THAT I CANNOT STRAIGHTEN MY LEG OUT ENOUGH TO BE COMFORTABLE WHILE DRIVING DUE TO THE LIMITED REARWARD MOTION OF THE SEAT. IN SPEAKING WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, HE SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT FORD/LINCOLN DIRECTLY. IN DOING SO, THEY ADVISED THAT CONTACT YOU PEOPLE AT THIS E-MAIL ADDRESS. IT IS MY INTENTION TO POINT OUT THIS MATTER TO YOU AND SEEK SOME ADVICE AND DIRECTION. MY PROPOSAL IS TO RAISE THE SEAT HEIGHT APPROXIMATELY 3" AND ADD A PIECE OF FLAT METAL UNDER THE SEAT TRACK WHICH COULD BE REDRILLED TO ALLOW THE SEAT TO MOVE REARWARD APPROXIMATELY 3+". THESE MODIFICATIONS WOULD USE THE SAME HOLES IN THE SEAT TRACK AND THE ATTACHMENT LOCATIONS IN THE FLOOR THAT EXIST NOW. ANY REPLACEMENT BOLTS THAT WOULD BE USED WOULD OF EQUAL GRADE OF THE ORIGINAL BOLTS. THIS MODIFICATION WOULD ALLOW ME TO SIT HIGHER AND FURTHER BACK FROM THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS WHILE ALLOWING MY LEG TO BE STRAIGHTER, THEREFORE MORE COMFORTABLE. I HAVE SEEN THIS TYPE OF MODIFICATION DONE ON OTHER VEHICLES AND IT WORKS. IF DONE PROPERLY IT WOULD NOT ALTER THE LEVEL OF SAFETY IN THE VEHICLE. AT THIS POINT FORD/LINCOLN WILL NOT SUPPORT THIS MODIFICATION WITHOUT MY PRESENTING THE IDEA TO YOU PEOPLE FOR YOUR SUPPORT ON THE MODIFICATION. IF YOU COULD REVIEW THIS REQUEST AND ADVISE ME ON THIS MATTER BY RETURN E-MAIL, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 29000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):2LMDJ8JC8AB. Lincoln Mkx 2010 problem was reported in LYMAN, ME. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.
