[EURO] Driver's seat problem.

[Guzzy888]

Yes, definitely get it fixed under warranty.

It was driving me nuts, didnt used to happen when i got the car from new. Then out of the sudden it just did and starting to get worse. I thought I am imagining it.

Now that it has been fixed, i am happy once more.

dug up old thread

OK!,

After 14++ months with the problem, I finally can get a honda service to fix it upcoming friday.

I have been going to Burswood honda (I live in Perth btw), and They really know how to make ppl piss off. I complained the seat first time in jan 2006 service. and the movement just gone during the test drive.
and I complained again during last service in jan 2007.
They said slight movement on the driver seat was normal (I Didnt think the guy know what he is talking about).
And later when I got home, I tried to call them again to book one of their staff to test drive with me.
They REFUSED, and they refer me with honda customer relation number to complain. even on the service receipt, they openly didnt tick the box for test driving the vehicle (which is a must during every service).

Then I went to Honda North, one of their technician just quickly look at the seat, and try to shake/move sideway the seat by hand (didnt need to test drive it) and he found the seat moves excessively (bingo!) then they ordered a new seat base for the car.
I was bit worried because the car warranty finished at the end of march.
but the warranty still there and they cant refuse

Let's hope everything going fine this friday!

This maybe slightly off topic. My drivers seat has begun to make a single loud "click" when cornering quickly. I can reproduce it by hand when stationary.

I unbolted the seat and had a look underneath. The cause seems to be a rivet with excessive free-play, meaning that I can't repair it. Haven't spoken to Honda yet but will do so and expect to have the seat base replaced.

Has anyone else experienced this symptom with their drivers seat? Stephen8512, your symptoms sound similar.

If you are under warranty, get them to fix it for you. Could you take a pic of the offending rivet for the benefit of us who don't have any warranty cover left?

I'm still hearing this click and have noticed that it only occurs after turning left, when my weight settles back on to the seat, pushing the seat base back down causing a loud single CLICK! (My weight shifts right when turning left, lifting weight off of the left hand side of the seat). This is supported by my suspicion of a loose rivet on the left hand side of the seat base which I can reproduce by hand by twisting the back of the seat.

Can anyone reproduce these symptoms? This is getting annoying. The click (and suspicious rivet) are alongside the handbrake.

I've tried and failed with one dealer and am going to try with another next week.

omg i thought i was going insane!

i have this same problem! only happens occasionally, maybe 2-3times a week... at first i thought it was somethig rolling around under the seat hitting it, but now i know its something to do with the seat base... im out of warranty, and its not happening often enough for me to worry about it. besides, if i finally find another set of rsx seats - problem solved lol

go black recaros.

i bought mine last year april, is it still under warranty? or do i have to ghetto it ? i was thinking of brides , but i don't have a clue wtf warranty even does for this honda car, so i still don't want to void it

my power steering fluid is perfectly topped up but the steering is so fcuken hard i hate it. i stopped driving it seriously aye, then i got them to look at it and they did not do shit and gave me a receipt saying top up all fluids and mechanical check 80 bucks or some shit-when everything had just been serviced anyway. ?? now it just sits here.

[hooyn]

hi hisoka. i live near sunnybank too! /random

anyways what do you mean you're steering is so fcuken hard? like no power steering heavy? please explain more. changing to aftermarket seats will affect the side airbags. give us more info and we should be able to help you out mang.

[Crapdaz]

might find the steering is heavy compared to your EG5? just a thought.

changing seat will require engineering certificate as it effects your car safety.

[hisoka]

like it feels as if there is no fluid, and it feels the same in my eg5 when i have no fluid but then when i checked fluid it was full, the wheel feels really tough to turn, and SOMETIMES* rarely it fixes out but then when you slow down it goes hard again and it takes ages to do a U turn lol.

does standard recaros from CL9 require saftey certificate.?

hooyn were abouts u live exactly ?? runcorn ?
