seat track needed to be replaced. Part ordered after first trip and repaired on second visit

The seat back is so hard and uncomfortable from the active head restraint that the car was painful to drive. This is a Honda design flaw. Just because they are all like this doesn't make it right. I am now modifying the seat myself.

Passenger power seat would not move more than an inch. Seat track was replaced under warranty.

Found water that we thought was coming in thru the driver's side door was coming in through an unsealed seam in the firewall between the engine and cabin. Tech sealed with silicon. Then two days later in a rain storm it was leaking again. Will return...

Tech tried unsuccessfully to recreate the leaking problem. Took the cowl off for a second time while another tech up under the dash while spraying water in the area that we thought it had been leaking. No leak found. We'll see what happens when it rains.
