SEATS
SEAT TRACK IS BROKEN AND SEAT IS FLOPPING AROUND. THE METAL PIECE THAT ATTACHED TO THE SEAT FRAME HAS BROKEN OFF. WHEN LOOKING AT THE BREAK, OBSERVED METAL SHAVINGS ON FLOOR AND A LOT OF METAL SHAVINGS AT THE POINT OF THE BREAK. APPEARS TO BE A DEFECTIVE PART OR WORKMANSHIP. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF I HAD HAD AN ACCIDENT, THE SEAT WOULD NOT HAVE HELD AND I COULD HAVE BEEN THROWN OUT THE BACK OF THE CAR. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO HONDA CUSTOMER CARE DEPARTMENT, THEY DID NOT SEEM CONCERNED AT ALL. OFFERED TO PAY HALF OF THE PART REQUIRED TO FIX THIS BUT THEY SAID THE PART WAS AROUND $700! I HAVE NOT HAD IT FIXED YET BECAUSE I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE. I SEE THAT MINE IS THE 4TH COMPLAINT REPORTED TO YOU REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE.
