Bracket that holds drivers seat to base made a popping sound today when approaching a stop sign, and after accelerateting from the stop sign the drivers seat began to recline. Upon further inspection I discovered that the I bracket that holds the seat to the base had sheared off. This bracket is riveted to the seat itself but sheared off adjecent to where it is riveted. This is a huge safety concern, the sear should not break from daily use! this is an issue that needs to be addressed as it could become potentially fatal.

2008 Honda Pilot. I was getting into my vehicle drivers seat when I heard a pop and my seat tilted back. Removing the front drivers seat control panel, I found that a 'L' shaped bracket that attaches the seat to the frame on the forward left-side of the driver's seat broke at the large rivets.

The L-bracket that secures the front drivers seat to the seat frame broke - it sheared away from the rivets that attached to the front left of the drivers seat and the seat is now loose. This is a huge safety concern as the seat rocks back and forth when turning and accelerating. A Honda dealer quoted a price of $3000 to replace the defective seat frame. This seems to be a frequent issue with older Honda Pilot.
