Consumer Description

DEFECTIVE FRONT SEAT TRACKS. FRONT SEATS ROCK BACK AND FORTH ON TRACK WHEN LATCHED IN PLACE. CONCERN IS THAT SEAT MIGHT BREAK LOOSE IN A CRASH. MY CAR IS A 2003 CIVIC LE. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT SOME 2006 CARS (ABOUT 25% OF A RANDOM SAMPLE HE TOOK ON LOT) HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. MY 2003 CIVIC HYBRID DOES NOT HAVE THE ISSUE. AMOUNT OF SEAT ROCKING IS ABOUT 1/4 TO 1/2 INCH VERTICAL MOTION MEASURED AT THE FRONT EDGE OF THE SEAT BOTTOM AS THE SEAT IS ROCKED BY PUSHING/PULLING ON THE SEAT BACK WHEN THE SEAT IS NOT OCCUPIED. DRIVER'S SEAT IS WORST, BUT PASSENGER SEAT EXHIBITS ABOUT 50% OF THE MOTION. THE CAR CURRENTLY AS ABOUT 30K MILES, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN NOTICEABLE FOR AT LEAST THE LAST 10K MILES. *NM
