Airbag sensor light for front passenger seat has recently lit up and won’t turn off. Honda dealer said my daughter needs to replace the passenger seat weight sensor which means replacing the whole seat at $3000+ cost. Please check, thank you.
-Two back seat belts have malfunctioned. The back driver side seat buckle has unattached from the car. The middle back seat belt came unattached from the car. It is available for inspection but have an appointment to get fixed tomorrow. -Mine and my family's safety was put at an INCREASED risk for danger. Two seat belts have malfunctioned in the back seat just from normal wear.

I have an appointment with Honda dealership tomorrow. -It has not currently been inspected. -No symptoms prior and no reasonable explanation for this to happen.

THE TRUNK LATCH , ONCE LOCKED BY A KEY, WILL NOT ENGAGE AND OPEN THE TRUNK FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. I BROUGHT MY AUTO TO THE DEALER TWICE.

BUT THEY SAID I USED TOO MUCH FORCE TO UNLOCK THE TRUNK. THIS AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR OVER 6 MONTHS! THIS IS MY 2ND HONDA CIVIC AND I NEVER HAD AN ISSUE BEFORE. *KB
