“Recently while driving with my two sons in the outward position in the middle row, a strange clicking came from the driver side middle seat. My 5 y/o son said my seat is moving . The back of the seat was no longer locked into position and was moving freely back and fourth with minimal effort. We were doing normal stop and go, rush hour city driving with no hard stops and no sudden brakes. I contacted the dealer who said there was a recall however the parts were not available yet.”
NHTSA complaint #11066001, filed 2018-01, 43,000 miles“The seat recline latching mechanism on one of the second row seats has failed and allows the second row to collapse back into the third row seat. The latch will not latch at all. This puts the person sitting in the 3rd row at high risk of injury if this occurs in a rear end collision. Fortunately,this was discovered without injury.”
NHTSA complaint #11054043, filed 2017-12, 40,000 miles“The driver's side middle row seat's seat back of our 2015 Honda Odyssey will not lock into place. No one can sit in that seat because the seat back either reclines back or folds forward. When unoccupied and the car is in motion, it will adjust on its own at times (you hear the clicking/grinding). …”
NHTSA complaint #11062793, filed 2018-01, 78,000 miles“I received a recall notice for my 2015 honey Odyssey on january 2, 2018. I first read of the issue in this notice several months ago. Honda still has no remedy available and the fix is not timely. Honda has been aware of this issue for months and yet had failed to correct the seats from latching improperly. Furthermore, this is the second seat related recall we have had since we leased this vehicle in june 2015.”
NHTSA complaint #11058132, filed 2018-01“Re: Honda recall NHTSA recall number: 17v-725 dear sir/madam, my Honda 2015 Odyssey is in the recall scope, the Honda recall s0g was announced at nov.17, 2017. It is still on incomplete and no more actions about remedy. I did call Honda to ask the schedule, they responded me that there is no valid solution and schedule according their internal communication. I am disappointed and worried on this recall since my children seat the 2nd row seats everyday. May I know if there is time constraint to Honda to close the recall with actions? …”
