Loose driver's seat...!!!???
I have a 2003 Honda Accord. 6cyl 4 doors.
Ther drivers seat seems to have alittle 'play' in it....i.e...It's loose.
When I stop at a light there is a small but noticible 'thump' as the seat
moves forward. When I start driving again, there is a little "thump" as the
seats moves back.
It's more bothersome than anything else.
(It appears to be a little more noticable when the seat is adjusted to a
middle position....and less noticible when the seat is all the way up or all
the way back.)
I have been to the dealer (this morning) and the tech said that the seat is
installed and attached correctly...so he thinks it may be 'normal' for this
car. He can't see anything that could fix it. And it might just be
inherant design flaw.
Has anyone heard of this? Is there any Honda documentation of this?
What should I do?
Thanks!

fro, experience you have to have it documented at the dealership... keep
complaining about it as long as it in warranty... when out of warranty
there will probably be a fix for it and you gonna have to pay.... thats
when you complain to the manufactuer or zone manager of the manufacturer
and when they see you complained about it since it was new they should
rebate you for the cost of the fix.. thats what ford did for me back in
1973 on a grand torino that had what the dealer called a design flaw...
it turner out to be some bushings in the rear drive axles that they
could not find to be at fault...

I have an 2003 EX 4 cyl/doors with power seats. There is no play at all no
matter where I position the seat.
On the other hand, I had a Volvo 850 which had a similar rocking for the
entire 10 years I had the car. Kept hearing "They all do that".
Keep bugging the dealer, might want to say its a safety issue as it
disconcerts you when the seat moves. That approach did not work for me with
the Volvo, unfortunately.

My 10 year old Accord's driver seat moves the same way yours does, but
it's barely noticeable. However, in my case I know why it's happening:
the seat lost a ball bearing from the rails it moves on. I found it on
the floor a while ago, right after I noticed the wobble. I'm just too
lazy to take out the seat completely to see where it fell from... Maybe
this summer?

Re: Loose driver's seat...!!!???
I second that my Coupe V6/EX does the same thing.... I hardly notice it
now... but it does do it.... and on top of that I can't seem to adjust the
seat to a good position. My back seems to hurt after driving for a while...

Re: Loose driver's seat...!!!???

now... but it does do it.... and on top of that I can't seem to adjust the
seat to a good position. My back seems to hurt after driving for a while...
