Honda Cr-v Seats Safety Report | Jan 26, 2010
Reported on Jan 26, 2010
| THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS LOOSE, DUE TO DEFECTIVE SEAT-TRACK PARTS. THIS CAUSES THE SEAT TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH. IN AN ACCIDENT, THIS COULD CAUSE AN EXAGGERATED MOVEMENT THAT THE OCCUPANT WOULD ENCOUNTER, IN MY OPINION. THE SEAT ROCKS BACK AND FORTH APPROXIMATELY 1/2 OF AN INCH (ESTIMATE). I HAVE REMOVED THE SEAT AND DISCOVERED THAT METAL BUSHINGS THAT ARE PART OF LINKS THAT CONNECT THE UPPER SEAT TRACK ASSEMBLY TO THE LOWER SEAT TRACK ASSEMBLY ARE BROKEN AND WORN, THUS ALLOWING TOO MUCH PLAY IN THE PIVOT BOLTS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE ON THE CAR IS APPROX. 162000. THIS PROBLEM FIRST STARTED OCCURRING AROUND 50000 MILES. WHEN I WENT TO GET A STATE INSPECTION LAST YEAR, THE INSPECTOR NOTICED IT AND SAID IT SHOULD BE FIXED. THAT IS WHAT I AM DOING NOW. *TR | |
