2006 Honda Civic Seats Problems

MY DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BACK RIGHT SIDE CAME LOOSE AND MADE MY SEAT ROCKING BACK AND FORTH. ALSO MY BAR UNDERNEATH THE SEAT BROKE SO I COULDN'T ADJUST MY SEAT. DOES BEEN A COMMON COMPLAINT AN ISSUE OF A DEFECT FROM HONDA ARE 2006 HONDA CIVICS. VERY DANGEROUS FOR A DRIVERS SEAT TO BE LOOSE WHILE DRIVING YOUR CAR. WHEN THE DRIVER SEAT IS LOOSE IT CAN CAUSE A DRIVER TO CRASH AN INJURED OTHERS BY BEING DISTRACTED WHILE DRIVING. IF YOU CANNOT ADJUST THE SEAT TO THE PROPER POSITION IT CAN CAUSE THE DRIVER TO NOT BE ABLE TO REACH THE PEDALS PROPERLY SO THEY CAN DRIVE SAFELY AND HIT THE BRAKE SAFELY TO STOP THEIR VEHICLE SO THEY DON'T CAUSE A CAR ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING. I WAS PARKS AT THE TIME OUT DOING STUFF AND WHEN I CAME BACK TO MY CAR TO GET READY TO LEAVE IS WHEN I NOTICED MY BAR UNDERNEATH THE CAR BROKE AND I COULDN'T ADJUST THE SEAT WHEN I WAS TRYING TO ADJUST IT TO DRIVE HOME. MY CAR SEE STARTED BECOMING LOOSE ONE DAY WHEN I WENT TO GET IN MY CAR TO LEAVE AND DRIVE I NOTICED THE SEAT WAS WOBBLY THAT MORNING, I HAD NO CLUE WHY CUZ I NEVER HAD A SEAT BECOME LOOSE AND WOBBLY LIKE THAT BEFORE OUT OF ALL THE CARS I FOUND.

I EVENT RECALL ON HONDA ODYSSEY SEATS THAT WOULD NOT STAY LATCHED... EXACTLY WHAT WAS HAPPENING WITH OUR CIVIC COUPE. RARELY DID WE MOVE THE PASSENGER SEAT BUT WHEN WE DID IT WOULD FREQUENTLY NOT LOCK IN PLACE AFTER AWHILE WITHOUT A VERY JERRY MOVEMENT WITH WEIGHT IN THE SEAT... WE'D FORGET TO CHECK AND COME TO A STOP SIGN AND I'D SLIDE FORWARD OR ACCELERATE ON THE FREEWAY AND I'D SLIDE BACK, JUST AN INCH OR SO, BUT I WAS AFRAID OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IN AN ACCIDENT. NO ONE BELIEVED US /SAW ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE SEAT. POINT IS READING THE RELEASE TODAY - - THERE COULD BE MORE HONDA VEHICLES AFFECTED. WE HAVE SOLD THE CAR SO I CAN'T PROVIDE ANY MORE INFO. DATE BELOW IS AN ESTIMATE.

THE DRIVERS SIDE SEATBACK IS FALLING OFF. POSSIBLY CLIPS BROKE. *TR

BACK OF DRIVER'S SEAT CLIPS BROKE. HAD IT REPAIRED AT DEALERSHIP 2X BUT BROKE AGAIN. WARRANTY EXPIRED. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THE SEATS ARE UNCOMFORTABLE TO THE POINT OF BACK AND NECK INJURY. THE HEAD RESTS ARE TOO FAR FORWARD, CAUSING SEVERE STRAIN ON THE NECK. THE BACK OF THE SEAT DOES NOT FOLLOW A NATURAL SPINAL CURVE AND THEREFORE FORCES THE DRIVER TO HAVE HIS SHOULDERS PUSHED FORWARD. THIS INCREASES PAIN IN THE NECK. THE SEATS ARE TOO HARD AND IF THE DRIVER HAS A WIDE RIB-CAGE, THE BOLSTERS PUT PRESSURE ON THE BACK CAUSING BACK PAIN. I AM HAVING TO SELL THE CAR WHICH I JUST PURCHASED BECAUSE THE PAIN IS UNBEARABLE AND NO SEAT CUSHION HELPS THE PROBLEM. *TR

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE HEAD REST OF THE PASSENGER SEAT CREATED A HUGE BLIND SPOT OF THE BACK SIDE WINDOW. THIS CAUSED A TREMENDOUS POTENTIAL FOR SAFETY RISK.

THE HEAD RESTS ON THE CAR ARE BUILT TOO FAR FORWARD, RESULTING IN THE PASSENGER SITTING MORE FORWARD THAN WHAT IS SAFE FOR DRIVING. THERE IS NO WAY TO ADJUST THE HEAD REST BACKWARD. *JB

HEAD RESTS ARE INSTALLED TO FAR FORWARD. IT MAKES THE OCCUPANT ALMOST TO HAVE THEIR CHIN ON THEIR CHEST. *NM

MY HUSBAND AND I JUST FINISHED AND EXTENSIVE SEARCH FOR A NEW CAR. I FOUND VERY FEW CARS THAT WERE COMFORTABLE TO ME DUE TO THE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINTS. I AM FIVE FEET FOUR INCHES TALL AND I LIKE MY SEAT TO BE MORE UPRIGHT. UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN YOU PUT THE SEATS IN THIS POSITION, THE HEAD REST FORCES YOUR HEAD DOWN, CHIN TO CHEST. THIS WOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM IF I WERE A MAN WITH LARGE SHOULDER MUSCLES OR IF I LIKED MY SEAT TO BE IN A RECLINING POSITION. MY REACTION TO THE RESTRAINTS IS THAT THEY FEEL VERY UNSAFE. WHEN I CHECKED THE FEDERAL WEB SITE, I FOUND THAT THE GOVERNMENT TESTED ONLY FOR THE SIZE OF AN AVERAGE MAN. WILL THE REST OF US DIE OR SUSTAIN INCREDIBLE INJURY? I AM REALLY WORRIED ABOUT THIS, ESPECIALLY AFTER READING THAT THE RESTRAINTS COME FURTHER FORWARD IN THE EVENT OF A REAR COLLISION. CAN YOU CHECK INTO THIS PROBLEM? I HAVE BOUGHT A HONDA CIVIC, BUT I WILL HAVE TO HAVE A PILLOW BEHIND MY SHOULDERS TO KEEP MY HEAD FROM BEING IN AN IMPOSSIBLE POSITION FOR DRIVING. THIS IS NOT ABOUT AN ACCIDENT BUT I AM AFRAID THEIR WILL BE PROBLEMS. I WILL PUT TODAY'S DATE IN YOUR FORM TO MAKE IT WORK. *JB

HEAD REST PUSHES THE HEAD FORWARD UNTIL IT IS AN UNNATURAL NECK POSITION. THIS SHOULD BE VERY STRESSFUL ON A LONG DRIVE. *JB
