Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Defective front seat tracks. front seats rock back and forth on track when latched in place. concern is that seat might break loose in a crash. my car is a 2003 civic le. i was told by the dealer that some 2006 cars (about 25% of a random sample he took on lot) have the same issue. my 2003 civic hybrid does not have the issue. amount of seat rocking is about 1/4 to 1/2 inch vertical motion measured at the front edge of the seat bottom as the seat is rocked by pushing/pulling on the seat back when the seat is not occupied. driver's seat is worst, but passenger seat exhibits about 50% of the motion. the car currently as about 30k miles, but the problem has been noticeable for at least the last 10k miles. *nm
