Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, NOT IN ANY ACCIDENTS OR DRIVING OFF-ROAD. SAT DOWN AND FOUND DRIVER'S SEAT UNEXPECTEDLY WILL NOW TILT BACK, RAISING THE LEFT FRONT OF THE SEAT. THE SEAT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT SECURE, NOR WOULD IT BE SAFE IN AN ACCIDENT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, AND THEY SAID THE SEAT FRAME IS BROKEN INEXPLICABLY (PART 81660-S3V-A30). THIS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A WEAR PART - ONE OF THE METAL BRACKET PIECES HOLDING THE SEAT BOTTOM TO THE BODY I GUESS JUST SHEARED OFF ALONG THE RIVET LINE. A BRIEF WEB SEARCH FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, SO I'M SURPRISED THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL BY HONDA. THE DEALER QUOTED A REPAIR PRICE OF APPROXIMATELY $1,850.
