Sudden unintended acceleration by model year
What owners say
As I sat on the driver's seat, it tilted backwards. The seat came loose from the left front side. Something had broken that fastened the seat to the floor. The honda dealer checked the seat and said it was the adjuster assembly that had broken. I now have to hold to the steering wheel to stay upright to drive. Any acceleration throws the seat back. I contacted the main american honda company. They told me to have it repaired and save the receipt. They would look into it. Any sudden acceleration has the potential for serious accidents.
