Seat frame bracket failure
This pe was opened based on 10 consumer complaints in the odi database alleging that the power assisted seats were failing in certain 1998-2002 honda accord vehicles.failures are concentrated in the 1998-99 model year vehicles.the bracket that attaches the seat bottom to the seat base is fracturing due to: 1-the weld condition of bracket, 2-the drivers weight, and 3-the impact on the seat when the driver enters the vehicle and sits down.over time the bracket that attaches the seat may fail at the left front corner of the seat bottom.the other 3 points of attachment of the seat bottom to the seat base stay attached and the seat movement is limited.the attachment of the seat bottom to the seat back does not fail.the condition is most apparent during rapid acceleration causing the seat to tilt rearward.although a few complaints report concern over loss of vehicle control, no loss of control incidents, crashes or injuries are reported.in response to customer complaints, honda will provide owners of 1998 and some 1999 accords a no-cost reinforcement for the seat at the left front corner.a safety-related defect has not been identified at this time and further use of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.accordingly, this investigation is closed.the closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by the federal safety agency that a safety-related defect does not exist.the agency will take further action if warranted by the circumstances.

What 2000 Honda Accord owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Tl* the contact owns a 2000 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving, the driver front seat fractured and collapsed backward. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic to be diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
Was in an accident, car was totalled. No airbags went off exwct the passwnger side airbag,which no one or anything was in the seat. Was a head on collision. Was moving about 20 to 30 miles an hour. Comung to a stop
Seat welding like other people have listed did not hold up. I was driving on the highway when I heard a noise and my seat fell back. I almost crashed when I was able to grab the top handle near the drivers side window and pull myself back up in order to maintain control of my vehicle. Clearly this is not an issue that is a freak accident. The parts clearly have not been welded properly and it is amazing that no one has been hurt by this. Honda should offer to fix every one of these seats. The fact that a drivers seat weld could fail in the mist of just sitting and driving your car is scary.
After going over a small sharp speed bump in a parking lot the left front drivers seat "l" bracket broke, allowing the seat to tilt back and forth and the SRS light to came on. A honda dealer told me , it needed to be replaced or possibly welded. Costs ranged ($300-$400) for welding or new seat bracket ($1300 - $1500).
Hit on the front drivers side.

Was hit on the drivers side front.
Front drivers seat came loose, causing the seat to suddenly lean back as my wife was backing out of our garage. It could have been disastrous if our driveway wasn't as long as it is. It took her a while to readjust herself (seat was moving under her) to get her foot back on the brake pedal - when the seat reared back. Upon inspection, the mounting bracket that attaches the driver seat assembly on the left front corner has broken where the bracket bends up to mount to the seat assembly. It looks like metal fatigue. It is amazing how thin gauge metal was used for the mounting bracket? We are the original owners of the car ; the car has been very well cared for and has not endured any hard conditions or accidents. This is a major safety issue and could have been even more disastrous has she been involved in an actual accident. It scares me to think of how many 2000 honda accords may be out there with the bracket that has metal fatigue and will not hold up in the event of a collision. I noticed there are a number of similar complaints on the internet (exactly the same thing occurring) and there was a previous investigation done in 2003 ( # pe02072), I believe the investigation should be re-opened asap, especially considering how many older honda accords are still on the road. This failure looks to be a gradual in nature and appears directly related to metal fatigue of a thin gauge metal used on the bracket. The high leverage forces caused by passengers pushing back on their seat back ( e.g., getting in the car, or pulling something from their pockets while sitting) will take a toll on the thin metal bracket; eventually the bracket it will fail and most likely at a time when the integrity of the bracket is needed most (during an accident) for passenger safety.
The service manager for concord honda in 2007 recommended that I fix a broken weld on the driver seat frame by having it re-welded to fix the problem. I had asked the service manager to take it to honda of america to have the seat replaced even thought it was past the warranty period because the weld should not have failed within a six year time period. The weld on the seat has broken again and the current service manager said they will not stand behind the repair both because the warranty has passed for a repair, but also he would not repair the seat because the original service manager should not have re-welded the frame as it would not be safe to do so. I called honda of america to talk to them this time and was told that they might have addressed the problem in the 2006/2007 time frame, but that the car was now to old now for them to address the problem. What is bothering me is that they admit the seats will not stay fixed to the frame in an accident. Nor do they seem to care about early failure of the welds and them not holding. I have had a car that was 35 years old and the welds were still in place. Thank you
