problem #2

Civic 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

Drivers power seat reclines on it's own every time I turn off the car. It is not because I hit it with my leg. It does not do it until I turn off the car, exit the car, and close the door. Then I can watch the seat recline. This is very dangerous as my daughter was in a child seat beind the driver, and the rec lining seat crushed her leg causing severe bruising and much pain. Honda claims they never heard of this, but I find references to it on www.

problem #1

Civic 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 147,500 miles
199 Honda Accord - the weld on the right bracket on the driver's side seat failed causing the seat to recline backwards unexpectedly. I am only 195 pounds and have never had a seat fail in any vehicle I've ever owned. This should be considered a recall item. The seat failure resulted in me jerking the steering wheel and temporarily loosing control of my vehicle. Though I wasn't hurt it could have been worse had there been another vehicle in the lane I veered into. This is something that should be fixed at not cost to the owners of these vehicles.
