2002 Honda CR-V seats complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 24 of 24, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I just bought this vehicle few months ago. Noticed as soon as I sat in the driver seat, it was very loose and wobbly. The salesman informed me it had not been installed properly at the factory, and the bolts had came loose or broke, but the bolts do not line up with the holes in the seat to hold it in place. I read in the recalls, that this issue was only in 2 vehicles and they had been fixed. There are definitely more than 2 affected, including mine.
The driver's seat rocks back and forth during normal driving when stopping or starting. Additionally, I found a screw loosen under the seat area.

I am one of three owners who purchased honda cr-v ex (and lx) in 2002. This has been a great for me I was able to pay for by myself. I was at the dealers and I was able to see it unwrapped with only 6 miles on it as I singed the form to get it that day. I had it insurance the day I picked it up, with that being said I love this car! But in the last two years I have notice a growing number of incidents involving the seat belts in this vehicle. I have at times found it difficult to securely fasten the seat belts at all. My attempt to get the seat belt secured can be laboring; my mother with her failing health cannot do it very well at all. If I was only one of the three of us I would assume that it is just my vehicle but it is not. It can take up to 5 minutes to do this simple task. This makes me question if the connection will give way during an accident. Please understand that my 6 year old daughter is in this car twice a day. This is not just one car seat belt but all the ones in the back and front. Since it is the law to ensure that all persons in a vehicle are securely fastens in the retraining devices. This was a recall some time ago but it was not address when I took my car to a honda dealer (2002 honda cr-v seat belts recall 01v351000), nor the rocking of the driver's seat (2002 honda cr-v seats recall 02v251000) which I find most distracting. I fear that owner of this used vehicles will find it repair to be high cost items. Please consider an investigation of these issues. I hope that it will results in another recall. If need a petition to collect names of the current owners to show you the number of complaints will out weight the very conservative number of affected owner from the number on the recall notice of 2 in the 2002 honda cr-v seats recall 02v251000 and 6744 affected owners in the 2002 honda cr-v seat belts recall 01v351000.
I purchased my 2002 honda cr-v used from a local honda dealer. The driver seat rocked back and forth from the date of my purchase in 2003. A mechanic at the honda dealer on a routine oil change said that it was broken, and that it would be a $300 plus repair. I haven't done it, because I figured for a car only having 20,000 miles on it should be under warranty, and they should have caught it when it went through the "certified" warranty program. My seat belt on the driver seat won't lock, unless I repeatedly put the clip in and out, and then it will finally engage after 8 to 10 tries. Again, it has been a problem since I purchased it, and I believe that it should have been taken care of in the "certified" warranty program. Of course, now it is 10 years later, and I only have 80,000 miles on the car, and since these things were present when I purchased the car, I didn't realize that these issues should not have existed. It appears that these are issues that many other honda owners are experiencing as well, so that would suggest manufacturer defect.

I purchased a used crv in 2006 and notice that the drivers seat rocks back and forth. I was told at that time that there was nothing that they could do about it. I re-mentioned it every time I brought the car for service to no avail. I finally searched online and saw they offered a fix under a tsb but when I just brought it in they said that I would have to pay for the repair..which I cannot afford to do. I get whiplash every day as the seat rocks back and forth and feel that in an accident that the seat may not hold.
The driver's seat is loose, due to defective seat-track parts. This causes the seat to rock back and forth. In an accident, this could cause an exaggerated movement that the occupant would encounter, in my opinion. The seat rocks back and forth approximately 1/2 of an inch (estimate). I have removed the seat and discovered that metal bushings that are part of links that connect the upper seat track assembly to the lower seat track assembly are broken and worn, thus allowing too much play in the pivot bolts. The current mileage on the car is approx. 162000. This problem first started occurring around 50000 miles. When I went to get a state inspection last year, the inspector noticed it and said it should be fixed. That is what I am doing now.
Repeated mechanical failures of the 2002 honda crv that I bought brand new have been occurring since august of 2002. The car was bought in july of 2002. The odor from the inside cabin filter first occurred in august. The fuse to the warning devise that would alert the driver to lights being left on, etc. Went out within 3-4 months. Then major items which had to be replaced: differential, 2004(though still under warranty, honda refused to replace it for 2 years), neck of fuel tank broke, 2006, air conditioning system, 2007, driver-side window fell off track because the plastic clamp cracked, 2008, catalytic converter, 2009, o2 sensor, 2009, driver's seat unstable since 2003, SRS slowly went out beginning with intermittent warnings about side door air bag being turned off beginning in 2003 which dealerships ignored as just an occurence from something or someone bumping against the closed door from the inside. Finally in 2008, when the light came on to stay, I was told that it was a failure of the sensor motor__now my problem to again pay for a major repair.
Tl*the contact owns a 2002 honda cr-v. The contact stated that the air conditioning unit dispenses hot air. The dealer stated that the clutch on the air conditioning was burned. The contact also stated that the driver's seat is wobbly and not attached tightly and the air bag light automatically illuminates when it is bumped against. The dealer stated that a switch may be needed. The contact stated that when she removes the key from the ignition, the vehicle continues to move. She stated that none of the failures have been repaired by the dealer. The current and failure mileages were 71,825.
The driver's side seat bracket failed and would allow movement as you drove. A safety concern for us. A $314.07 bracket was replaced.
Dt*: the contact stated the driver's seat is loose at the base. There is a the federal safety agency recall, # 02v251000, regarding the seats. The vehicle has the same problems as indicated in the recall; however it is not included in the recall due to the VIN. The vehicle was taken to the local dealership for repair of the seat anchor.
