The driver side seatbelt does not seem to consistently stayed clicked/closed. After attaching the seatbelt, it will sometimes come loose. I have started to pull on it hard to assure that the latch has indeed made closure.
I WENT TO PUT ON MY SEATBELT, AND WHEN THE BELT PULLED OUT OF THE HOUSING, IT RIPPED COMPLETELY APART. IT WAS NOT A PORTION OF THE EXPOSED BELT, THIS PIECE ALWAYS RESIDED IN THE HOUSING. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME AND WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY.

I HAVE MY GRANDCHILDREN IN CAR SAFTEY SEATS IN THE BACK. THEY ARE SECURED BY OVER THE CHEST SEATBELTS. WHEN STOPPING SHORT, ONE OF THE SEATBELTS DISCONNECTED DIRECTLY FROM THE ROOF OF THE CAR. THE MATERIAL ON THE BELT ITSELF DID NOT BREAK, JUST THE CONNECTION TO THE ROOF. THE SAFETY SEAT JUMPED FORWARD AND HIT THE BACK OF THE PASSENGER SEAT. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS INJURED. THE OTHER SEAT BELT ALSO WAS LOOSENED. UPON TAKING MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY REATTACHED THE BELTS TO THE CAR ROOF. I WONDER IF THIS HAS HAPPENED OFTEN, THEREFORE I WANT IT REPORTED SO THAT IN THE EVENT THERE IS A DEFECT IN ALL THE CARS, HONDA WILL REPAIR IT BEFORE ANYONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED.*AK
LEFT-REAR SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY "LOCKS UP." ONCE LATCHED IN PLACE OVER A PASSENGER, THE BELT "LOCKS" SECURELY IN PLACE, FORCING THE PASSENGER TO UNFASTEN THE BELT IN ORDER TO LEAN FORWARD ANY DEGREE. PERHAPS A FAULTY PRE-TENSIONER? TWICE BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE SELLING DEALERSHIP, TWICE NOTHING DONE -- "THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS." MOST RECENTLY CONTACTED DEALER ON AUGUST 8, 2002, ONLY TO LEARN THAT "THE BELT DOES THE SAME THING ON THE 2002 CR-V'S, SO YOURS COULD NOT BE FAULTY." IF MY LR SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY IS NOT FAULTY, THEN WHY DOES MY RR SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. HELP!!*AK
DURING A COLLISION DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT DID NOT RETRACT, BELT UNRAVELED COMPLETELY.*AK
WHILE DRIVIING, VEHICLE HAD AN ACCIDENT, SEAT BELT AUTOMATICALLY DISENGAGED, THERE WERE INJURIES. VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN ROLL OVER, FLIPPED THREE TIMES. FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATBELTS UNLATCHED DURING EVENT. CW
WHEN USING SEATBELT AND CLIPPING INTO THE RECEPTICLE LOCK THE SEATBELT DOES NOT ACTUALLY LOCK. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE I AM DRIVING AND SEATBELT IS NOT LOCKED IN THE RECEPTICLE. ALTHOUGH I THOUGHT THE SEATBELT WAS SECURE IT WAS NOT BUT IT STAYED IN THE RECEPTICLE BUT DID NOT LOCK. I HAVE SCHEDULED TO HAVE THIS INSPECTED AFTER A PASSENGER NOTICED THE SAME PROBLEM.*AK
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
