Front Seat Power Adjust Problems of Honda Pilot

Spontaneously snapped mounting bracket on driver's side power seat, between mounted frame/support and adjustable seat components. A potentially lethal and original safety recall-able issue, which was never addressed by Honda, right from the very start of the Honda Pilot models. I have read dozens of identical complaints from owners of early year Pilots. . .

The driver's power seat horizontal position track jammed so that the seat could only be moved about 2 inches forward/backward. This locked the driver into a position very close to the steering wheel and unable to reach auto controls, seat belt without significant difficulty. Honda dealer said they're had a rash of these power seat jam-ups on Pilots. Had to replace the "lower seat track assembly" which cost $1,340 with parts, labor and tax.

Power drivers seat broke two years ago +. Will not go up or down. Honda wants $450 to repair. This should not have broken at 3 years old.

Bracket on left front power seat broke; it holds the seat to the floor; and seat rocks back and is not fastened at left front to the car. Very dangerous and must be fixed.

The driver's seat popped and now tilts backwards from the left. Upon investigation I found the exact problem others have reported to NHTSA regarding this year model: the left side bracket that holds the motor for the power seat back broke along the rivet line. This holds the seat bottom to body of the seat. This was perfectly described in a complaint lodged 4/25/2015 from tampa, FL. This appears.

The contact owns a 2003 Honda Pilot. The contact stated while stopped at a red light, the vehicle began to accelerate and the driver's seat frame became fractured. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed with a fractured power seat frame and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 107,000.

A bracket that connects the drivers set to the seat adjuster assembly failed catastrophically. This bracket is on the front left side approximately behind the power seat controls. The seat is now unattached from the adjuster assembly and quite unsafe. This happened while getting in the vehicle. The broken bracket may be part of adjuster assy. , l. Reclining, 81630-s3v-a30, but it is hard for me to tell since the exploded parts diagram that I have access to does not seem to match, quite, what I see. Based on parts and labor, I estimate the cost to repair this defect to be in the $800-1200 range.

Drivers power seat adjuster assembly l reclining 81630-s3v-a30 failed catastrophically at front left corner bracket cracked due to metal fatigue leaving seat partially unsecured to the vehicle. This is not a wear point the metal support bracket simply sheared off. Vehicle was not involved in any accident or off road activities that might have caused or stressed vehicle or its components in any way. As a result seat and seat back are unsecured falling flipping backward during acceleration and certainly would not be safe during an accident especially a rear collision would probably causing serious bodily injury and possibly death to the occupant driver and effect the integrity of the seat belt and air bag systems. If this part was to fail while driving it might startle driver and cause and accident. Honda was immediately contacted and refused repair or replace at their expense or even participate / contribute in any amount toward the repair or replacement. They denied there is a known problem despite numerous similar complaints on this site and the Honda and accord forums. I believe this same part is common in Pilot, accura mdx and odyssey Mini vans model years of 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and possibly others.

Driver's power seat assembly part broke, which separated the seat from the power movement assembly. Seat rocks back and feels like slight pressure could completely disengage the seat from the car. Seat rocking while driving is very dangerous.

Driver's power seat assembly part broke, which separated the seat from the power movement assembly. Seat rocks back and feels like slight pressure could completely disengage the seat from the car. Seat rocking while driving is very dangerous. It appears to be a small metal bar which runs from the seat assembly to the "slide adjustment assembly". It is a very small component of item reference number 14 (p/n: 81660-s3v-a30) of the "front seat components (l. ) (power)" for the 2004 Honda Pilot 5dr ex - ka5at. Specifically, the metal bar seems to attach to the rod which rotates when the seat is tilted forward or backward. The bar is designed to be fixed to the rod, which when rotating, pushes the other end of the bar (attached to the front end of the seat bottom) up or down, resulting in the seat tilting back or forward. It is the only part securing the front-left of the seat to the adjustment assembly. Reading around the internet, this appears to be a common problem with this generation of Pilot.

Although my Honda dealer has replaced the driver side seat cover on my 2003 Honda Pilot that also houses the controls for the power driver saet 4 times in the past 15 months with no problem, I feel this defect needs to be addressed because if this cover fails while driving the power seat could start to move in any direction. The website "hondapilot. Org. " has many complaints about this in thier chat forum, also my dealership told me they had to replace quite a few of these, there was even a backlog on ordering me a new one this last time.

1. Car was parked at a marina for approximately 1. 5 hours 2. Electrical malfunction in drivers automatic seat controller started a fire and destroyed seat and door 3. Honda said it was my fault and said to have my insurance pay for it - I'm electing to take them to court.
