Unconfortable seat on new Pilot

    I just bought a new 2006 Honda Pilot EX this weekend...It all works fine in
    it but, I noticed that the
    bottom cushion on the Driver's seat feel unconfortable on the right side. It
    feel like a seem is pushing against
    my leg/bottom right side and it is very annoying.

    Of course, I'll take it back to the dealer to correct this. I am just
    surpriced that such an expensive, new Honda vehicle
    has a seat that is more unconfortabel than the Accord I just traded in.

    Anyone else out there has experience this?

    Thanks,

    Didn't feel it during the test ride before you bought the vehicle?
    Everyone's butt is different.

    I find the Pilot seats to be quite comfortable. While I haven't driven an
    '06, I did drive to Florida in an '05 this past January (helping a buddy
    move) and if one is going to find a seat uncomfortable every, that's the
    kind of trip it would happen on.

    There may not be anything the dealer can do to fix it unless it is a quality
    problem with the seat in your vehicle. If that's how the seat is designed,
    but it doesn't fit your butt just right, the dealer will have nothing they
    can do. You will either have to get used to it, sell the vehicle, or pay a
    custom shop to re-work the seat to your taste.

    Waiving the right to remain silent, "Logic Design"
    Nothing like that in my 2005. If you feel and push around it by
    hand, do you sense anything there..?

    I had a similar problem with my '04 Accord when I got it. It just took some
    time to get used to. In my case I discovered the seatback was much more
    "upright" in its most upright position than in my previous three Hondas. I
    adjusted the seatback to taste, and all became right with the world.

    No, I did not feel the problem when I test drove it...There were too many
    other things I was paying attention to.

    I do feel a hard spot where two seems joint together on that side...In fact,
    the front passenger seat feels just fine. It's only the driver seat that is
    like that and the two seats are identical except for that one is power seat
    and the other is not. I can always show the service advisor the difference
    and they would have to do something about it. After all, it is a Honda and
    it doesn't even have 200 miles on it.

    Too many other things to pay attention to? I am in the seat getting
    comfortable and situated before I even start the engine.
    So, the 2 seats are the same, but different? Have you compared your drivers
    seat to another Pilot power drivers seat? Comparing it to the different
    passenger seat proves nothing. If it is the same as another Pilot drivers
    seat and is to spec, then they would not "have to do something about it" as
    then there would be nothing to do.

    If there is something wrong, they should and probably will take care of it.
    But so far there is no real evidence that there really is a problem with the
    vehicle.

    Oh, and try responding to the post that you are responding to and not
