NHTSA Complaint #10105632 — 2004 HONDA ACCORD

MY DRIVER AND PASSENGER POWER SEATS HAVE FORWARD MOVEMENT WHEN STOPPING. NOTICED THIS A FEW WEEKS AFTER BUYING THE CAR. THERE IS ABOUT A 1/2 INCH MOVEMENT IN THE SEATS.AT FIRST DEALER TRIED TO SAY THIS WAS NORMAL. DEALER HAS REPLACED SEAT RAILS ONE TIME,FIXED PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS. PROBLEM RETURNED AND GOT WORSE. I SPOKE WITH DISTRICT REP HE TOLD DEALER TO REPLACE SEAT RAILS AGAIN. DEALER HAD CAR FOR 1 WEEK BUT DID NOT REPLACE RAILS. I HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK TWO MORE TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. DEALER REFUSES TO REPLACE SEAT, SAYS THAT HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND IS WORKING ON A FIX. DEARLER ADDS THAT THIS FIX COULD TAKE UP TO 6 MO. TO A YEAR, JUST NOT SURE WHEN THEY WILL HAVE A FIX.. I AM AFFRAID IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT THESE SEATS COULD BREAK LOOSE. IN MY MIND THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.*AK
