Ten problems related to seats have been reported for the 1998 Honda Accord. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Drivers seat acts as if the two front seat mount bolts are not bolted to the floor it rocks back when you accelerate. It started with just slight movement back and within a 30 days it now moves several inches everytime you accelerate. You have to keep a tight grip on the steering wheel when you drive or you could move back far enough to have your hands slip off the wheel. Nothing has been done to fix the problem but I have had estimate for a $1200 repair as they said the entire seat track and motor will have to be replaced.
