Have a 2006 Honda Odyssey. The third row seat on the right side will not latch reliably to the floor. Sitting on the seat and/or accelerating causes the seat and passenger to flip backwards. The seat latch is on a swinging panel and is too far forward to meet the floor mounted hoop. There doesn't appear to be any way to adjust the latch position.
Engine leaking oil and smoke appears when the van is on seats feel loose.
The contact owns a 2006 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that the third row seat was rusted and the frame was bent.

The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 171,000.
Severe back pain after 2 hour trip. Has happened on all four trips taken since purchasing car in Dec 2013. Thought I was crazy until researching online. Turns out this is a significant issue. Why hasnt something been done. I will sell this car.
For 2006 Honda Odyssey with 60k miles, 3rd row seat latch does not engage allowing seat to move freely when in the 'unstored or normal position. . Potential major safety hazard in the event of accident or rapid stop. Honda dealer said that no extended warranty applied although I expect that the latch has been engaged no more than 100 times during life of vehicle. Currently 3rd seat unusable and must be stowed for safe operation. High consumer cost for replacement seat or 'rebuild'. Currently if I grab the seat and torque slightly I can get the latch to engage, but this is not an automatic process - the seat was designed to engage automatically when converting from stored to upright, but will not work automatically. There was not yet an 'incident' as a result of this defect - only the potential for serious injury in the event of a crash with an unlateched seat. Cost to replace seat mechanism quoted by Honda dealer was $650 - prohibitive cost for us right now.
