The power mechanism was glitchy, sometimes you'd press the button and it would go all the way forward and the backrest would fold properly, next time it would move 3 inches and the backrest would barely move. Sometimes it was smooth, usually it was jerky. With the manual latch, you have control.
As for the wheelhop, if it breaks, it breaks. If it breaks before they come up with a single cheek recall fix, I'll get the proper subframe as Ford should have put in it in the first place.
