Consumer Description

THE L-BRACKET THAT SECURES THE FRONT DRIVERS SEAT TO THE SEAT FRAME BROKE - IT SHEARED AWAY FROM THE RIVETS THAT ATTACHED TO THE FRONT LEFT OF THE DRIVERS SEAT AND THE SEAT IS NOW LOOSE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS THE SEAT ROCKS BACK AND FORTH WHEN TURNING AND ACCELERATING. A HONDA DEALER QUOTED A PRICE OF $3000 TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE SEAT FRAME. THIS SEEMS TO BE A FREQUENT ISSUE WITH OLDER HONDA PILOTS.
