Re: seat Problem!

Well then analyze it and fix it. I mean it's not that hard to see what makes a chair rock back and forth. Though $45 is expensive for a mistake that honda created in the first place.

Re: seat Problem!

The bushings in the seat are shot... and Honda has replacement bushings for it.

So, either have them do it, or buy the bushings and fix it your self.

Re: seat Problem!

fyi, they only perform free tsbs if your car is still under the original 3yr warranty. i have the same problem but it doesnt bother me much. i cant even take the seat out anymore cause one bolt got stripped in the last accident and wont come out.
