Driver's seat began to move while driving the vehicle. Took car to dealer who reported seat bushing are worn already. Car has only been driven 10K km ( 6K miles). Parts are back ordered so seat is still loose. A potential problem if invovled in collision before seat is repaired. Honda issued SB624365 back in July 2001 for a similiar complaint, as yet no sb for 2004 model year issued.

My fiance has been involved in two rear-end collisions, both in Honda Civics, over the last year (the last accident happened on 11/12/04), and in both cases, the driver's seat back broke so that she was thrown back at a greater angle than one would have expected. The first accident required her to have a painful back operation, with various vertebrates being fused. This cannot be a coincident that her seat back broke on both occasions.
