A state safety inspector advised that the driver's side seat is coming loose and could completely break loose in an accident. He said if it gets any looser it will not pass a safety inspection (virginia). I have owned cars for over forty years and have never heard of a car seat that wasn't secured to the body of the car for the life of the car. This specific defect, relating to honda crv's is broadly reported on the internet. Should a car seat potentially breaking loose in an accident not be subject to a recall?

The drivers seat is loose. It rocks back and forth when driving and when still. It is not solidly installed and can be shaken to the point where it looks like the seat can actually detach from its mounting. This is definitely a defect because there are many other people who are experiencing these same symptoms in their 2002 honda cr-vs.

My 2002 honda crv's front drivers seat has been rocking or moving slightly as I drive around. I went to get my crv inspected in virginia as is required every year, but was rejected. He said the seat has to be fixed, it rocks. It seems to me if it failed to pass the virginia state inspection, then it is a safety hazard. I went on the honda owners club forum and saw that other owners had the same problem. I called the honda recall center, but there has been no recalls nor campaigns regarding loose/rocking driver seats. It must be a safety issue if it failed the state inspection. I'd like for honda to fix my seat so it does not rock with out charge. I have owned hondas for about 25 years, now.

The front drivers seat's bolt broke...the service manager said it was bc of weight...I weigh 135# I had to pay to have my seat fixed. Not my fault!! My seat belt will not buckle until the 4-5 try..it keeps on bouncing out of the clicker.

Shortly after we purchased our honda 2002 cr-v in october 2014 we noticed the driver's seat was loose: it actually rocks a bit: and upon investigation found that the bolts securing it to the floor could not be tightened without removing the entire seat. The seat is still loose. More recently we learned that there had been a recall, the federal safety agency campaign id number: 02v251000. The defect can lead to the seat failing to remain anchored to the floor in a crash. The information on the federal safety agency website says that only two [sic] vehicles were affected by the defect, and that the owners were notified by telephone. We would like to know whether the recall applies to our vehicle. How should we proceed?
