2007 Honda Pilot seats problems

Filed Oct 12, 2024 · Seats · VA

In mid 2023 while driving I excellerated and the driver seat fell backwards and to the right about 5 inches. I pulled over and discovered something under the left hand front side of driver seat had broke. I had a box and other stuff in the trunk and put it in the backseat to prop it up while I drove home. Discilovered a week later the side bracket had broke. And it was a part riveted onto the main seat. I had it welded but didn't trust the weld alone. I started fabrication of a bracket overlay (Honda wanted a fortune for the one part). After months of it being parked over the winter I bought another 2007 Honda Pilot for parts. Sad that Hondas quality has declined. Very dangerous, and the same thing had happened to a lot of other owners. Not something that should happen at any mileage. Ours had about 176k on it.

Driver's seat front left mounting bracket snapped. Seat now rocks backward under pressure or during acceleration, and runs the risk of detaching completely in a collision. Over one hundred reports of similarly compromised driver's seats in Honda Pilot series 2003 - 2007 (mine is a 2007). Available for inspection upon request. Honda needs to issue a safety recall before injuries and fatalities start occurring.

The front drivers seat bracket has broken. At first it started rocking, then after a few days I heard a crack and realized that the bracket on the front left side of the seat was broken, when I took off the side covers and could see it. The seat now falls backwards. The car was not in an accident. The vehicle has about 196k miles. Given how many others have had this problem, I don't understand why there has not been a safety recall. If it happens with normal usage, then it will happen in an accident. These brackets were not engineered with safety in mind.

Drivers seat felt like it was loose and rocking slightly, then about 1 week later, felt worse. I slid it back to see if a bolt came off, and to my surprise, the steel bracket holding seat to sliding mechanism had completely broken off! I do not weight much and the care has not been in accident, so I believe the engineering of the bracket is insufficient and can lead to a serious accident. I was in my driveway when my seat broke, so fortunately, no one was injured.

The driver seat metal bracket broke while driving normally. I was shocked to learn about this. I have been driving for more than 23 years and had never heard about this situation. It is loose and a very serious safety concerns. As a consumer I expect that a car seat should last a lot longer than the car itself especially the driver seat.
