I have a 24 Flash and love it. I have a question about the rear seat bench. There’s a pull to release the seat to lift it up but it doesn’t latch when you put it back down. Does anyone else have this issue?

Hi there! Would you send us a private message with your VIN and dealership name and location? I’d like to look into this concern on my end.

Not exactly a good look
Typical from the FMC online presence…. Probably whatever customer service intern is delegated to monitor the account this week. I appreciate that Ford tries to maintain a presence here, but for most of us it hasn’t exactly been helpful. Already a big thread discussing just this…. Some have managed to have a useful interaction, so YMMV.

It’s the thought that counts!
But for some reason, I cannot stop laughing!

Mine has the opposite problem. I have to push it incredibly hard in the up position to get the latch to stick. Half the time it doesn't latch and comes crashing down while I'm driving, scaring the crap out of me.

Do you want my VIN?

Has anyone responded to one of these and actually gotten a response from Ford?

I've found to get it to latch properly, fold the seat up, as you try to latch it. Then the slamming and bashing of it is not needed and it clicks right in..
