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.

THE LATCH TOWARDS THE FRONT ON THE BOTTOM OF THE (SINGLE SEAT ON THE THIRD ROW) ON THE VERY FAR RIGHT SIDE DOES NOT LATCH PROPERLY. THE SEAT FALLS BACKWARDS WHEN MY 8 YEAR OLD SON SITS ON IT. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR NOT. THE SEAT GOES IN A BACK WARD MOTION WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN IT WITH THE PRESSURE OF THEIR BACK LEANING ON IT. I FEEL THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL.

AFTER PURCHASING A "CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED" 2011 ODYSSEY MINI-VAN FROM JACK ELLENA HONDA IN LAWRENCE KS, WE DISCOVERED THAT THE CAPTAIN'S SEATS IN THE SECOND ROW WERE EITHER DEFECTIVE OR NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY BY THE DEALER. WE DISCOVERED THIS WHEN, 5 MONTHS LATER, WE WERE INVOLVED IN A COLLISION AND THE CAPTAIN'S SEATS THAT HOLD OUR CHILDREN CAME COMPLETELY DETACHED. OUR SON WAS THROWN INTO THE BACK OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND SUFFERED INJURIES TO HIS FACE AND BODY. LACERATIONS ON HIS FACE AND BRUISING ON HIS BODY. WE HAVE CONCERNS THAT EITHER THE CAPTAIN'S CHAIRS IN THIS MODEL ARE DEFECTIVE OR THE CERTIFICATION PROCESS FOR PRE-OWNED HONDA VEHICLES IS EITHER NOT FOLLOWED BY DEALERS OR THE PROCESS EXCLUDES INSTALLING THE SEATS PROPERLY. *TR
