2005 Honda Accord Seats Problems

THE BACK SEAT DOES NOT ALLOW FOR A FLAT STURDY SURFACE FOR AN INFANT CAR SEAT. I HAVE PULLED AS TIGHT AS I CAN ON THE SEAT BELT AND LATCHES AND FIND THAT NEITHER OFFERS A SECURE 1" STANDARD OF PLAY. THE SEATS TIP WHEN I TURN A CORNER WITH MY GRANDCHILD IN IT. IT IS UNSTURDY. I HAVE TRIED HEAVY AND LIGHT SEATS AND THEY STILL TIP. I HAVE TO STUFF TOWELS UNDERNEATH TO TRY TO BALANCE, BUT OF COURSE A TOWEL IN AN ACCIDENT WILL NOT PROTECT IN AN ACCIDENT. BY LAW I MUST USE A BACK SEAT AND NOT A FRONT SEAT. IS THERE A FLATTER MORE STABLE BACK SEAT?

THE DEFECT CONCERNS THE FAILURE OF THE MOUNTING ASSEMBLY FOR THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THIS CAR HAS POWER FRONT SEATS. THE LEFT REAR MOUNT FOR THE DRIVER'S FRONT SEAT HAS BROKEN FROM THE UNDER CARRIAGE BELOW THE SEAT CAUSING THE LEFT REAR OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT TO BE DISCONNECTED AND LOOSE FROM THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND POTENTIALLY THE SEAT COULD COME LOOSE IN AN ACCIDENT. THE UNDERCARRIAGE CONTAINS THE POWER EQUIPMENT TO MOVE THE SEAT AND MOUNT THE SEAT. A HONDA DEALER HAS INSPECTED THE SEAT AND SAID THE SEAT UNDER CARRIAGE MUST BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $750. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY PROBLEM SINCE THE DRIVER'S SEAT MOUNT IS BROKEN AN THE DRIVERS SEAT COULD COME LOOSE IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS DRIVER SEAT POSITION SENSOR WIRING HARNESS FAILED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V001000 (AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

I HAVE A 2005 HONDA ACCORD EX #. I HAVE A BROKEN SEAT POSITION SENSOR WIRE HARNESS. THIS VEHICLE FALLS OUTSIDE THE RECALL VIN SERIES FOR THE HONDA RECALL Q31. I THINK THAT THEY CUT OFF THE VEHICLE SERIES TO SOON. MY CAR HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALL. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA AND HAVE RECEIVED NO SATISFACTION. *TR

I WAS USING MY HEATED SEATS THIS MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK. I SET THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT ON THE LOW SETTING AND WITHIN A FEW MINUTES MY LEFT THIGH BEGAN TO BURN. I LOOKED DOWN AND SAW SMOKE COMING FROM THE SEAT AND NOTICED THE LEATHER BEGINNING TO DISCOLOR. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE HEAT OFF AND SNUFFED OUT THE SMOKE WITH MY FINGERS. I AM NOW IN THE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING HONDA. *TR

ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED MY NEW VEHICLE MY LEATHER BEGAN TO BUCKLE AND HAD A VEIN-LIKE APPEARANCE. I HAVE TALK TO THE WARRANTY DEPARTMENT FOR HONDA WHO INDICATES THIS IS "CLEARLY A MATERIAL DEFECT". WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE MONTHS TO GET THE NEW SEATS. I THEN TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME THAT I NEED TO CONDITION THE LEATHER SO THE BUCKLING WAS MY FAULT. *JB
