| I am one of three owners who purchased honda cr-v ex (and lx) in 2002. this has been a great for me i was able to pay for by myself. i was at the dealers and i was able to see it unwrapped with only 6 miles on it as i singed the form to get it that day. i had it insurance the day i picked it up, with that being said i love this car! but in the last two years i have notice a growing number of incidents involving the seat belts in this vehicle. i have at times found it difficult to securely fasten the seat belts at all. my attempt to get the seat belt secured can be laboring; my mother with her failing health cannot do it very well at all. if i was only one of the three of us i would assume that it is just my vehicle but it is not. it can take up to 5 minutes to do this simple task. this makes me question if the connection will give way during an accident. please understand that my 6 year old daughter is in this car twice a day. this is not just one car seat belt but all the ones in the back and front. since it is the law to ensure that all persons in a vehicle are securely fastens in the retraining devices. this was a recall some time ago but it was not address when i took my car to a honda dealer (2002 honda cr-v seat belts recall 01v351000), nor the rocking of the driver's seat (2002 honda cr-v seats recall 02v251000) which i find most distracting. i fear that owner of this used vehicles will find it repair to be high cost items. please consider an investigation of these issues. i hope that it will results in another recall. if need a petition to collect names of the current owners to show you the number of complaints will out weight the very conservative number of affected owner from the number on the recall notice of 2 in the 2002 honda cr-v seats recall 02v251000 and 6744 affected owners in the 2002 honda cr-v seat belts recall 01v351000. *tr | |||

| I purchased my 2002 honda cr-v used from a local honda dealer. the driver seat rocked back and forth from the date of my purchase in 2003. a mechanic at the honda dealer on a routine oil change said that it was broken, and that it would be a $300 plus repair. i haven't done it, because i figured for a car only having 20,000 miles on it it should be under warranty, and they should have caught it when it went through the certified warranty program. my seat belt on the driver seat won't lock, unless i repeatedly put the clip in and out, and then it will finally engage after 8 to 10 tries. again, it has been a problem since i purchased it, and i believe that it should have been taken care of in the certified warranty program. of course, now it is 10 years later, and i only have 80,000 miles on the car, and since these things were present when i purchased the car, i didn't realize that these issues should not have existed. it appears that these are issues that many other honda owners are experiencing as well, so that would suggest manufacturer defect. | |||

| I purchased a used crv in 2006 and notice that the drivers seat rocks back and forth. i was told at that time that there was nothing that they could do about it. i re-mentioned it every time i brought the car for service to no avail. i finally searched online and saw they offered a fix under a tsb but when i just brought it in they said that i would have to pay for the repair..which i cannot afford to do. i get whiplash every day as the seat rocks back and forth and feel that in an accident that the seat may not hold. | |||

| The driver's seat is loose, due to defective seat-track parts. this causes the seat to rock back and forth. in an accident, this could cause an exaggerated movement that the occupant would encounter, in my opinion. the seat rocks back and forth approximately 1/2 of an inch (estimate). i have removed the seat and discovered that metal bushings that are part of links that connect the upper seat track assembly to the lower seat track assembly are broken and worn, thus allowing too much play in the pivot bolts. the current mileage on the car is approx. 162000. this problem first started occurring around 50000 miles. when i went to get a state inspection last year, the inspector noticed it and said it should be fixed. that is what i am doing now. *tr | |||
