Our drivers side plastic mold has completely broken the seat frame has also broke causing this to be a huge safety issue. If i am rear ended, this seat will have no way to prevent me from being thrown backwards! The seat is wobbly and unsafe to drive! I have read many more complaints with this same issue! Please issue a recall!

Our 2004 honda odyssey driver side seat broke from the bracket. The welds that hold the seat to the bracket broke causing the seat to start tilting and wobbling while we were driving down the road. This is a safety issue due to the fact that it is possible to loose control of the vehicle while driving increasing risk of collisions.

Need a recall to be issued by nhtsa or proper gov organization. The passenger seat belt tensioner and the buckle were replaced after the srs light was illuminated. Now the driver-side buckle and seat belt tensioner is causing a problem and srs light is on again. Honda is using delay tactics. Want to scan the car for $100 to re-confirm the same problem even though the car was scanned in the prior week! Srs light…

Driver's seat has come loose and it is not stable when driving, especially when adjusted for different drives in the family. Went to dealer and they said they don't fix that!!! Moves side to side and stays on one side. Happens when driving, and when stopped.

The drivers seat all of a sudden rocks back and forth and is not stable. I removed the side panel and could see the metal bracket that is riveted to the seat holding frame broke - metal actually cracked on it. The vehicle was stationary when problem started.

Driver seat snapped and now rocks back and forth. Is this a safety issue? I would think that honda would warn people about this problem and come issue a recall?

Driver seat bracket failure (metal fatigue) renders bottom of seat loose, not holding driver in fixed position. Failure renders seat restraint system ineffective. Dealership position is that failure is due to age, and will not replace at its cost. Metal bracket is not rusted at failure location. Pictures show stress fatigue due to riveting process. Repair cost = $1681. Current blue book value = $2475. Cost for me to…

Driver's seat turns into a rocker and reclined backwards towards the second row while in mid traffic. Dealer says that the seat tray is broken and costs to the owner is $2500 to replace it. Seems like a manufacturer defect and a safety issue since incident was not provoked and seats looks new. I noticed drivers seats in models post 2004 are designed differently, a one-piece unit instead of a tray+seat. Believe…

The weld for the drivers seat failed in my 2004 honda odyssey with 125,000 miles. No warning. My wife asked if it was safe to drive and the shop foreman at the honda dealer said it was safe for a while. Is a broken weld on a seat a major safety violation or at the least dangerous for my wife and daughters? *tr

I am guessing that when i went to the car wash about a week ago, they lifted up the captains chairs, in the 2nd row, in my honda odyssey to clean. I didn't know that they had done this and checked my 2 year olds car seat to make sure it was secure but not the seat itself and drove away. Today i was driving on the freeway and had to slam on my brakes when my daughter, car seat, and captain chair flew into the back of…
