- the contact owns a 1999 Honda Accord ex. The contact stated that the srs air bag light flashed on/off, and it was related to a problem on the driver's seat. The contact stated the problem with the light was an every day occurrence. The contact stated that the lights turning on/off normally happened upon the acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle. The contact could be driving at 5 mph or more when this occurred. The contact was told that he needed a new driver's seat because of the wiring.

The contact stated that the 2004 and 2005 model vehicles already have the safety recall, but it was not on this 1999 vehicle. The current and failure mileage were both 109,000.

: the contact stated where the seat attaches to the frame, the seat was only held on by a spot-weld. Under normal wear and tear, the spot weld breaks lose causing the seat to rock back and forth. The driver's side power seat rocks back and forth about 6-8 inches. The dealership has been made aware of the problem.

Wiithout warning, my driver side power assisted seat collapsed and cannot lock upright. It can only lock in lay-down position. I plan to take it to my local Honda dealership (patty peck Honda, ridgeland) to immediate repair. I did not receive any recall notices about this defect. Another Honda owner told me today, June 13, 2004.

Service bulletin #' 030013 & 03034 seats:front assembly:power adjust recall replaced bracket for looseness in seat-back & cushion - did not resolve problem - returned to dealership & was advised seat track - needed replacement - ($758. 53 track - labor $218. 38) the seat started shifting when vehicle was approx 2. 5 years old - contacted Honda direct (800-999-1009 case#n012003-08-220-1363) was advised they would pay 50% of seat track. The dealership and Honda direct have been courteous & kind. I do not feel under normal usage that the seat track should fail. I believe that the recall should have been for the track not the bracket.

I was in an accident. I was sitting in stopped traffic when an SUV rear ended me going about 40 to 45 mph . It then sent me into a truck that was stopped in front of me. My seat the drivers side colapsed and I ended up laying flat in the back seat. After talking to the body shop I found out all the gears in the power seat were stripped causing back injury. It is my understanding that this should have never colasped. I have contacted the Honda dealer along with Honda consumer relation and the safety council and received no satisfaction they all just passed the buck back to one another it was a vicious circle.

The driver's seat back reclined automatically on three occasions while the vehicle was parked. The consumer had contacted the manufactutrer.

Driver's power seat collapses into a reclining position while parking , this has occurred 4 times.

Vehicle experienced seat adjuster and gas gauge problems.
