“My three small children and myself were traveling on the interstate in our home town right at city speed limit of 75mph when out of nowhere from the middle lane attempted to get in the right lane to to get off on my exit 4 miles ahead I slowly hit my brakes then the gas and my car would not move I was almost plowed into numerous times and almost caused a few collisions myself since I was not able to move at all l was so scared I was about to die with my kids I was frozen”
NHTSA complaint #10861765, filed 2016-04, 206,000 miles“My power assisted driver's seat bracket that attaches the seat bottom to the seat base has fractured because of the weld condition of bracket. My seat weld at the left front corner of the seat bottom now causes the seat to rock with no stability. The Honda dealership will not honor the pe02072 stating that my VIN no. Is not in the range and that the time period has expired. This is a dangerous weld failure that odi should hold Honda accountable.”
NHTSA complaint #10358241, filed 2010-09, 150,000 miles“Driver's seat of my '99 Honda Accord has become loose, rocks and pulls away from steering wheel upon acceleration, causing lack of control since momentum pulls driver away from wheel. When seat is not occupied, this is evident by pushing on headrest, causing seat to 'rock' backwards approx 6 . Mechanic said that a piece of steel on the bracket under the seat is broken (& seat bracket is the same for all 1998-2002 models). Dealer said this isn't a recall or anything so repairs would be at my expense. …”
NHTSA complaint #10405392, filed 2011-06, 118,000 miles“Weld broke on my driver's seat 1999, Honda ,Accord with only 38,000 miles on it. Took car to dealer, and they said the entire linkage was needed, and would cost $800.00 for the part. Now a year later, I get a letter from Honda for a seat product recall, and a bracket is to solve this problem. For one year I have been driving a car that throws me forward and back.this is a safety issue, and a car that was only 2 years old should not have this problem.please thank the ten people that came forward because now Honda might correct it's mistake and my car will get fixed. …”
