NHTSA complaint #11629205, filed 2024-12

“Description of Incident: Immediately after purchasing this 2021 Honda CR-V Hybrid brand-new at an authorized Honda dealership in Maryland, the driver’s seat frame exhibited abnormal mechanical play. The seat shifts and rocks forward and backward during standard acceleration, braking, and turning maneuvers.

However, dealership service staff refused to repair or replace the frame assembly, claiming the play was within normal specifications. …”
