1997 Honda CR-V Interior & seats Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the interior system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Interior & seats reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

WE HAVE HAD A RECURRENT PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE SEAT WHERE IF YOU LEAN BACK ON THE SEAT, IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY RELEASE AND BECOME RECUMBANT. IT HAS HAPPENED WITH A MOVEMENT AS SIMPLE AS REACHING BACK TO HAND MY CHILD A DRINK. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF I AM EVER IN AN ACCIDENT THAT THIS SEAT WILL FAIL AND SEVERLY INJURE THE DRIVER AS WELL AS THE PERSON THAT IS SITTING BEHIND HIM/HER. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AS EARLY AS A FEW THOUSAND MILES ON THE CARE. HAS THIS BEEN REPORTED BY OTHER DRIVERS??*AK
