Why are the rear seats on my 2013 MKZ stuck down?

Why are the rear seats on my 2013 MKZ stuck down?

I still had the problem on my 2013 MKZ. I believe the problem is an unfortunate omission in the engineering department. When the rear seat back is lowered, the same mechanism that locks the belt on hard deceleration falls and locks the seatbelt in its retracted position, and the belt tension prevents the seatback from being raised.

What to do if your seat belt won’t release?

Unbuckle the seat belt. Allow the seat belt to roll back in a few inches. Slowly pull the seat belt out so that the auto-lock feature doesn’t engage. Make sure not to pull the seat belt too quickly or hard. As you pull the seat belt, make sure it is not tangled. If it is, untangle the seat belt as you pull it out completely.

What to do if your rear seat is stuck?

A temporary fix is to gain access from the trunk side of the underseat and, with a T50 Torx socket, remove the bolt holding the belt to the floor. Once the belt is slack, you can raise the seatback to it normal position, reattaching the belt bracket in its original place.

What happens when you lower the rear seat?

Yesterday I lowered my rear seats to get something that was really close to the back of the trunk (and found another item I had been looking for that had fallen between trunk and seats). Well the middle seat has a retractable belt that apparently locks when the seat is lowered.
