Hello,

My TX has 60/40 bench seat. I couldn't fold/recline the 60 part from last week.
Any one had such a problem before?

Thanks.
Bo

I have noticed my Freestyle doing the same thing. It is getting more and more difficult to get it to fold down. I was planning on looking at it last weekend, but as with all things, I ran out of time.

If anyone else has fixed this issue, a hint as to what you found would be nice before I go wild with my tools next weekend.

Thanks

Please search this forum!

Someone posted the fixing procedure not too long ago.

The problem is like that, (I try to remember it), at the latch a piece of metal bended out of shape and it can not pull the cable to unlatch the far side of the 60 seat.

That person gave us the instruction on how to. The plastic covers under the seat can be easily removed. Then you will see the mechanisms. Fix the metal piece and lub all parts, then it is ready to go! (I remembered something like that.)

I was having problems with mine at the latch handle. It didn't seem to want to come up all the way and release.

We had our FS in the shop for an unrelated issue and I mentioned it to the service advisor. When I got the car back, the mechanism had been replaced under warranty.

This seems to be another "clitches" that plague the FS.
