    How do new 04-05 Accord owners feel about the loose feel of your leather
    drivers seat? Is it the worse Honda seat ever?

    I have had a 2004 V6 EX-Navi for 6 months. I have not noticed any
    problems with my seat. Does yours actually move around while you're driving?

    You can feel it move foward then back abut a 1/8 or 1/4 inch when you brake
    suddenly and feel it lean a bit in sharp turns.


    driving?

    I was told that it was "normal", though it is hard to measure the movement
    (it isn't much). Of course I never had a power seat do this in any other
    car.

    After reading your e-mail, I went out to my garage and did the
    following:
    Grabbed the driver's seat of a '92 LX with 180K miles and shook it
    forward and aft then sideways. No movement at all.

    Grabbed the driver's seat of a '01 EX-L with 18K miles and shook it
    forward and aft then sideways. No forward nor aft movement but at the
    top of the seat there was a little bit of sideways movement, less than
    a 1/32.

    The strange thing is that if I move the seat all the way forward or all the
    way back the seat does not move. Unfortunately, I can't drive in those
    positions.

    When I first called Honda consumer relations about this, they did say there
    was a shim kit to correct this for 2002 Accords regarding seat rocking.

    It is not likely that Honda will have an engineering team work on a solution
    for 2003+ Accords unless a significant amount of owners complain to their
    Honda regional reps. Most owners will accept the service departments
    explanation that it is normal.

    I guess that if Honda does not acknowledge there is a problem then there is
    no need to fix it. An easy way to skirt lemon laws.

    Any lawyers out there want to represent a class action suit?
