Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 1990 honda accord lx. my driver seat does not stay in the adjusted position. it is designed to slide forward and backward to accomodate one's height. i attempted to adjust the seat forward, and it does not stay in the designated position. this causes the seat to freely slide forward and back without constraint. when accelerating, this pushes the driver backwards, away from the brake pedal. when braking, this causes the driver to come flying forward towards the steering wheel, in turn causing the brakes to depress very hard. in my opinion, this is a major safety issue and should be covered in honda's safety restraint system. unfortunately, i was (very rudely) informed by the service manager at robertson honda, in north hollywood that this was not considered a safety concern. instead, i was blatenly told that this is simply a case of a worn part, and that since my car is older, it is not immediately covered by honda. i feel this should be looked in to, as this is an extremely precarious situation for any driver to find him/herself in, causing a potentially serious accident.*ak
