The contact owns a 2011 Honda Accord Crosstour. The contact stated that the electrical seat adjuster on the driver’s seat failed to operate without warning. Due to the failure, the contact was unable to adjust the driver seat to the appropriate setting to ensure safe driving. Upon investigation, the contact discovered that the teeth on plastic gear attached to the motor had worn off which rendered the button to adjust the seat useless. The contact also discovered TSB (19-034) which he linked to the failure. The contact spoke with a mechanic at a local dealer who offered no assistance and referred him to the manufacturer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and promised the contact a call back. The contact had yet to hear from the manufacturer. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

I HAVE WATER ENTERING THE CAR. IT HAS POOLED UNDER THE THICK FOAM UNDER THE DRIVERS FLOORBOARD AND IS RUNNING INTO THE BACK DRIVER SIDE. I NOTICED ONCE I DETECTED THE ODOR OF MOLD AND NOTICED BLACK MOLD GROWING IN THE REAR FLOORBOARD. AFTER LAST NIGHTS RAIN IT HAS BEGAN POOLING IN THE FRONT BELOW THE BRAKE PEDAL SO I KNOW IT IS A LOT OF WATER ENTERING SINCE THE FOAM ITS SELF IS THICK. I FEEL MOISTURE ON THE FIREWALL NEAR THE FOOT REST BUT I AM UNABLE TO TELL FURTHER WHERE IT IS COMING FROM DUE TO THE FABRIC MATERIALS. I DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING BUT IT WAS RECENTLY I NOTICED THE MOLD SMELL. I HAVE CHECKED THE SUNROOF DRAINS BY PUSHING CLOTHES LINE DOWN THEM AND THEY ARE CLEAR OF DEBRIS.

We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.
