When setting something on my passenger seat such as a water bottle filled with water and a purse, the srs light is triggered on the dashboard. After doing some research there was a safety recall for the passenger weight sensor on my vehicle model however my VIN was not included.

The contact owns a 2025 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at various speeds and depressing the brake pedal, the front driver's side seat slightly moved forward and backward. The contact stated that the seat was not secured. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the failure was replicated, and the contact was informed that it was a factory defect. Additionally, the contact stated that the dealer was able to replicate the failure on other brand-new vehicles. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 500.

Red warning comes supplemental restraint system problem warning has come 3-4 times in past 2 months.

I have contacted multiple dealers to repair the recall. However, none of the dealers have the parts to repair it and does not know when they will have parts. They asked me to keep checking because they will not be contacting me when the parts are available. I am using my vehicle everyday and I have a passenger present at all times. I do not want to get in an accident and have my passengers in danger for a faulty weight sensor. I need to find a fix for this recall as soon as possible.

At 14,000 miles the passenger front seat shifts laterally when occupied under weight shifts in turns. Also makes an audible knocking sound. American Honda would not cover this potential safety issue after positive diagnosis from our local Honda dealer. The vehicle is covered under a 12,000 mile cpo warranty.

The 2024 Accord ex front passenger seat sits too low and has no height adjustment. Many adult front passengers are positioned extremely low to the floor with zero height adjustment. I believe the airbag may not effectively protect or even cause injury to these passengers as many can not see over the dash. This abnormal low position also causes leg discomfort and cramps during longer trips. I recommend that Honda provide a seat adjustment alteration or install optional seat-jacking spacers to restore passenger height to a safe and or normal position.

I have a open recall on my vehicle from 2/2024 VIN [xxx] Honda will not honor it because, they don’t have the parts is what I was told. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Passenger air bag sensors are faulty. The passenger air bag "off" warning light stays on even when the seat is empty which indicates that the passenger air bag system is compromised. The vehicle is available for inspection.

Honda Accord have recall, weight seat sensor, and the dealer is not fixing the issue it’s been almost a year.

After we purchased our Accord hybrid touring car last month in marysville, OH, we could not believe that the passenger seat did not have a vertical adjustment!! my wife sits here most of the time when we use the vehicle, she is 5'2" and cannot see out over the dashboard in the seat. If the air bag ever deploys here, it will hit her in the head, which could cause her a severe injury!! she has tried sitting on big cushion, but it is very uncomfortable and will not use it most of the time in the vehicle. We would not have purchased the vehicle, if we had known this inability of the passenger seat! we have found out by looking online that many other people have had this same problem w/o any real resolution to this issue. We want to inform Honda corporate that if it cannot resolve this problem and we have issue with air bag in the future, we will be taking legal actions to obtain a remedy!!.

I complained to joe morgan Honda that my driver's seat broke from the frame causing it to be a rocking chair and joe morgan Honda confirmed that the car needs an entirely new seat because the frame had snapped. Joe morgan Honda said they don't make the seat anymore and it was important that I not get a seat from a vehicle that had been wrecked, because so no seat in a scrapped vehicle could be found. I complained to the better business bureau to the Honda corporation at 1919 torrance, CA and the better business bureau said they refused to answer the safety complaint silicon valley complaint #21630101.

I received a safety recall notice in regards to replacing my seat weight sensor circuit board. I tried to contact yonkers Honda service department on 04. 13. 2024 and they refused to set me an appointment to fix this safety issue. They stated they do not do recalls at that yonkers Honda service location.

The driver’s seat continues to move (keeps adjusting) while I’m driving.

There is a major design issue with the two front seats on this vehicle in that they are too low. I am five feet four inches tall and my wife is five feet two inches tall and I can barely see over the driver's side front windscreen having adjusted the seat to it's maximum height. The passenger seat has no adjustable lever as a result my wife can see anything outside in the front of the vehicle. This is a major design and safety issue and it has to be addressed by Honda. I've also been following the Honda Accord forums and many people have the same issue. Because of this I'm already planning to sell the vehicle and buy something else instead. I've owned a Honda Accord previously and many other vehicles and this type of issue was never a problem. I've driven over seven hundred vehicles in the past twenty five years and this is the first car that I've encountered this type of issue, in fact the passenger seat is unusable because it's way too low. I'm currently looking at buying two after market seats or alternatively to replace the vehicle. In fact I just bought the vehicle as a demo with just 5000 miles on it on 12/13/2023. Please help me resolve this matter.

Driver seat moves foward when brakes are applied. Took to dealer they stated they couldn't find anything wrong. Took me to another car and shake a driver seat and state they all move some. I own several vechicles and they never moved when breaking a vechicle.

Drivers seat is loose. Dealership agreed seat is loose but other new cars at dealership have loose seats too so they decided it is expected. Seat isn't loose when car is off and seat is fully back. But when you start car and seat moves forward, the seat clicks back and forth when you drive when speeding up or slowing down. It seems there is play or something loose. I've had other Hondas years ago and none of my cars, including my Honda pilot do this. Dealership said I should wait till someone reports it and recall because if they swap out the seat they say it will have the same problem. This problem has been with the car since I bought it new. I've reported 2x to the dealership and they said there isn't anything they can do.

Also the side of the center console. I have leather seats and all my years of owning cars with leather my head rest or center console has ever looked like this.

Unknown - I have a 2004 Honda Accord which indicates an airbag issue. The seat belt buckles but the light stays on. Many 2004 Accords were in a recall over srs but my VIN did not show as part of the recall. The dealer says the seat sensor is bad but they are not making the part any longer. What should I do. I guess the maker should replace with a new system.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. The contact stated that he noticed that the driver's side seat failed to adjust as needed with an abnormal clicking. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact made a local dealer aware of the failure; however, the vehicle was not yet diagnosed or repaired. The contact referenced the failure to TSB 17047 (clicking from the driver power seat while using the height or tilt adjustment); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 51,000.

The trunk release mechanisms of my Honda Accord exl coupe failed, both manual cable and electrical trunk release. My trunk does not open and when I need to access my spare tire in the trunk - I will not be able to. A real danger since I live in canyon country and often phone reception is poor. The only Honda model that does not have any external nor internal emergency trunk release option. There is no "valet" button, no decklid access, no external hidden key lock nothing that can release my trunk so I can gain access to my spare tire. Federal law 49cfr571. 401 mandates an emergency internal trunk release. In this Honda model the only way to get into the trunk from inside is by unlocking and pulling down back seats to access the trunk. But the only way to unlock back seats is by pulling a cable that unlocks them which is inside the trunk! so the safety design flaws in the Honda Accord exl coupe are: there is no emergency access to release the trunk to gain access to the spare tire and there is no emergency way to unlock back seats to gain access to the trunk since the only way to unlock back seats is in the trunk. A mechanical engineer needed to dismantled the seats to get into the trunk and he tried to release the truck with the emergency trunk release but it is obvious that the latch has failed. If there was ever a person stuck in the trunk that person would not be able to free themselves. I do have a video showing the emergency trunk release not working if you like to see it but I can not upload it. I lost my job during the pandemic and my house has major damage from the massive amount of rain los angeles received. I am unable to afford to have a Honda dealership tell me what I already have on video showing that the emergency trunk release has failed and I am in potential danger every time I drive. I asked Honda to fix trunk release latch and expressed the dangerous coupe design flaws but they will not fix the safety problem unless Honda dealership gets involved.

Vta unit driver seat needs to be fixed. Is a common problem in this car. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The construction of the driver’s seat in this 2018 Honda Accord is poorly made. There is not enough padding in the seat to protect the body from the mechanical steel inner workings of the seat. I can feel the inner workings of the seat when I drive this car. I previously owned a Honda crv and I know that this is not normal. The crv was and still is a very comfortable vehicle as our daughter now owns it. There would not be any protection for the driver of this 2018 Honda Accord upon impact with another vehicle. Now I know why this vehicle had only 5161 miles on it when we purchased it July 12, 2021. It is that uncomfortable. I only drive it to the grocery store and back. I suspect that was the case with the previous owner as well. Otherwise, this car looks to be in pristine condition as it obviously was garage kept and still is garage kept. It feels like a jalopy.

1st the check engine light continues to come on, when it does it makes loud noise and seems to either speed up like idling to fast or loss of power, continues the normal maintained, already replaced the head gaskets and belts it burns through so much oil when we do test on car they say catalytic convertor and then it will stop and work and some thing over and over again, I have 157000 on my car the leather in the car it is forming hard spots on seats front and back I don't have other passengers its like the seats are superglued . I have heard Honda is aware of these problems and with this amt of complaints why is not Honda heard accountable, in park city a fire started due to faulty catalytic convertor I don't want that to happen to me.

I was stopped on a city street at a red light and rear ended by a drunk driver going 45+mph. The drivers seat back failed upon collision and was thrust back on the rear passenger seat. The resulting seat failure caused injuries to my lower back that would not have taken place had the seat structure been designed strong enough to withstand a rear collision.

Bought the Honda Accord in November, 2012. I am the only driver. Car has approximately 14,000 miles on it and the seat motor has failed. It makes noise. Seat cannot be properly adjusted by motor. Others have complained and said seat could collapse down and that is dangerous. This is a costly repair involving replacing entire front seat.

I weigh approximately 130 pounds. And this is the second time this has happened to my car. The motor for the drivers seat started making weird rattling noises. The first time it happened was when I had about 1 year with my car. And since it was covered under warranty I took it in to the Honda dealer in redlands, CA. They �fixed� it. And now 4 years later after that it's messed up again. Either the motors that control the seats are messed up. Or I'm definitely to heavy for my car seat to handle my whole 130 pounds. My husband occasionally drives my car. And he knows how irritated I get when my seats been moved so he doesn't do anything but move the seat back.
