After turning on the heated driver's seat switch, i began to smell burnt plastic. Didn't expect that turning on the heated seat might start a fire. This occurred while driving.

I was in a rear end collision. The driver seat did not stay upright. Upon impact it reclined. My car was in motion when it was hit, approx 20 mph. This probably caused my injuries to be worse than if the seat had maintained it's upright position.

A state safety inspector advised that the driver's side seat is coming loose and could completely break loose in an accident. He said if it gets any looser it will not pass a safety inspection (virginia). I have owned cars for over forty years and have never heard of a car seat that wasn't secured to the body of the car for the life of the car. This specific defect, relating to honda crv's is broadly reported on the…

Engine oil level on dipstick way above what it should be and there is a strong gasoline smell in the engine oil. The honda maintenance minder says 70% engine oil life is left. Also the seat heaters don't seem to work. Based on what i read online this seems to be somehow linked with the engine oil dilution issue

The seats are extremely uncomfortable and cause bottom and back pain. After driving for 30-40 minutes the driver's bottom becomes numb. This is a safety issue because the driver cannot attend to the road as effectively while being in extreme discomfort. The seats are not well-designed if they are causing the driver this much pain. Adjusting the seat in many possible positions does not eliminate this discomfort.
