| Seats problems |
The middle row passenger side seat stopped functioning. The lever on the middle row seat that must be used to allow third row passengers to exit or enter the vehicle does not work. So the seat will not move forward to allow exit if necessary as intended. This is a safety issue in the event of accident or fire and if third row passengers need to exit the vehicle quickly, or to be able to access child in car seat. Honda has informed me that despite the vehicle being under the new bumper to bumper vehicle warranty that fixing this issue is "not covered" under the warrantly. There is no damage to the seat or lever mechanism that is visible or that has occurred. Rather the lever just stopped working. To the extent this presents a safety issue, and Honda will not address it (their corporate customer service folks have also not communicated with me regarding the complaint about this issue and the mention that this also represents a safety issue), I am reporting this problem to NHTSA. Thank you.
