Description of the problem | I accelerated when light turned green and my drivers seat topped completely back off the base. Seat bottom and back remained together. 2 "torx" bolts were later found on floor by dealer under the seat. No one injured as no one was sitting behind driver and my son was in passenger seat and able to help me tip back forward to where i could grab steering wheel to hang on to in order to reach our destination. We were in motion on a county road. Going straight. Van had been rear ended a year prior so after honda dealer looked at it we talked to them about trying to go through insurance as it was rocking after accident and they tightened it. They talked to honda because i said i wanted new bolts. Honda said they did not sell separately just whole seat. The body shop said these bolts had no signs of ever having thread lock applied to them. They applied thread lock and put them back in the seat. I researched online found nothing like this happening both honda dealer and body shop said they had never seen anything like it. In a worse situation myself or my children could have been killed when i lost control of the wheel. Performance kings honda and gerber collision in blue ash ohio assisted me. I am still afraid it will happen again. |
