2002 Honda Accord seats complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 20 of 20, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Dt: consumer stated that the seat reclines and went vertical on its own. Consumer took vehicle to the service dealer to have brakes done, and they stated that the seat was off the track. The seat was worse since vehicle has been at service dealer.
After the front passenger seat was pushed up for someone to get in to the back seat, the front seat faild to lock in its original position. The front seat slid back and forth on the track. *ak when the consumers husband stepped on the brakes, the consumers mother who was in the passengers seat, the seat had moved forward and did not lock when it was pushed back. This problem caused the cosnumers vehicle to rearend another. *sc
The head restraint is too high and obstructs the driver's vision when trying to reverse the vehicle. While reversing out of a parking spot vehicle struck a pedestrian. Driver did not see the pedestrian at the time of the incident.
Drivers seat of 2002 honda accord feels loose. Similar to that which is described in incident #pe02072.
Subject: front seat breaks off in rear end collision on honda accord sedan. O whom it may concern, purchased a brand new 2002 honda accord lx sedan from bloomfield honda in bloomfield hills, michigan one year ago.*ak my wife was rear ended by a large ford truck while she was stopped to make a left turn onto a neighborhood street. I truck didnt even brake and drove the truck all the way up to the backseat. Luckily she was wearing a seat belt. Her driver seat, however, broke off its moorings at the floorboard giving her no support as she was flung backward in the crash. It was like the front seat was a rocking chair after the crash. No part of the front end was damage except the driver seat (only the rear end had been struck). The trunk and rear-end are destroyed. Are drivers seats supposed to come loose or break off in crashes??? Is this the honda way? We have owned hondas for years and this is a major quality breech and a danger. If my wife wasnt wearing that seat belt she might be dead. The manager of the dealership said this sometimes happened in the honda accord in rear end collisions...this is acceptable???? The drivers seat would have driven her into the dash. I would also rethink not having the airbag deploy in a severe rear-end collision. It would have helped in this incident.
Driver's front seat moves and rattles when turning and braking. This is a serious problem and honda has been unable to resolve the issue. Both my dad and brother have the same problem with two different 2002 honda accords. Two different dealerships have not resolved the problem.
Consumer states that the drivers seat had a clunk when driving over bumps or when shifting weight, consumer realized this was due to excess play in a scissor/hinge mechanism which caused the right inbound back bottom of the seat to move about 1/4 of an inch, dealer replaced the adjuster assembly, however problem still exists, consumer is requesting that the power adjustable height/track mechanism be replaced with the non height adjustable unit.
Driver side seat shakes/moves when accelerating or appling brakes, the dealer replaced the track but the problem still exist, the windshield wipers are sluggish and the left wiper was very noisy and left streak on the windshield, the glove box door would not close properly, the drivers seat belt would not retract intermittently due to the belt being twisted/curled, the left rear door would not close properly, fog lights were out of focus, the air bag light illuminated.*ak
Consumer believes vehicle is not new because the window glasses are etched. The windshield wipers were sluggish upon use and left wiper was very noisy which left streaks on the windshield.
