NHTSA Complaint #11066512 — 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY

THIS IS THE 2ND RECALL I'VE HAD ON MY CAR WITHIN A YEAR ALL HAVING TO DO WITH THE 2ND ROW SEATS NOT LATCHING PROPERLY. THE LADY ON THE PHONE JUST TOLD ME THAT IF I BRAKE TOO HARD THE SEAT COULD POSSIBLY COME UNLATCHED. I HAVE A CHILD AND YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT HONDA ISN'T DOING ANYTHING EXCEPT WAITING FOR PARTS TO COME IN AND NOT SELLING THEIR NEW VANS UNTIL THESE PARTS COME IN. I DON'T FEEL THAT IS ENOUGH. HOW CAN HONDA ALLOW PEOPLE WHO OWN THESE VEHICLES TO STILL BE DRIVING THEM UNTIL THEY HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM. IF I BRAKE HARD AND THE SEAT COMES UNLATCHED FROM THE FLOOR BOARD, WHICH IS WHAT THE LADY TOLD ME, THAT IS SUPER UNSAFE AND HONDA SHOULD BE DOING MORE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, EVEN WORSE IF SOMEONE IS TO RUN INTO YOU OR REAR-END YOU. THE CHILD OR ADULT, WHOMEVER, WILL PROBABLY DIE IF THE SEAT UNLATCHES FROM THE FLOORBOARD. AND BETTER YET, THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE THE PARTS IN TO FIX THE PROBLEM.
