Approximately two weeks ago my seat started to become mobile. It took me a few days assisted by some internet research, one of the brackets connecting the seat to the base had split in half or almost in half. After a few days, the bracket completely split.

My internet research, including this site, shows the issue is not unique to my vehicle. I called a dealer and of course the only solution on their end is a replacement of the seat because it is a SIGNIFICANT safety issue. The estimated cost to replace with a new OEM is $1500-2000.

I have attempted to locate a replacement seat and it is between $50 and 325 for a used seat from a salvage yard and it will not even be an exact replacement (color or electric).

I am also filing a report through the NHTSA website. (https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/VehicleComplaint/)

The drivers seat frame broke which I feel is a serious safety concern. It wasn't too bad at first, the seat just rocked a little. After a few days the seat rocked severely with every start, stop and turn. If I were to have been in an accident, I am sure the seat would not have protected me or helped me to maintain any control of my 2005 Pilot.

I contacted my dealer and was told it would cost $2185.00 to repair. It took the dealership longer than expected to obtain the necessary repair parts. The actual cost a was bit more $2233.00 plus tax.

After viewing so many other complaints regarding the driver's seat I feel that Honda should be proactively checking and making the necessary repairs. If the seat should become detached from the base the driver will lose control of the vehicle. Possibly causing a very serious accident. The cost to repair seems outrageously high for just a couple of small pieces of metal.
