My front driver side seatbelt is not working properly and never has. I've had trouble getting it to roll into position instead it gets stuck outside the car door.When trying to find it to buckle up. When I unbuckle the seatbelt it Will not roll back into position and when I try to pull to get it to click onto I have trouble getting it to clasp. I've asked the Honda dealership if they could replace it for me without a charge they said no they could not. They suggested making a report and possibly getting special permission to replace it.

I AM ONE OF THREE OWNERS WHO PURCHASED HONDA CR-V EX (AND LX) IN 2002. THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT FOR ME I WAS ABLE TO PAY FOR BY MYSELF. I WAS AT THE DEALERS AND I WAS ABLE TO SEE IT UNWRAPPED WITH ONLY 6 MILES ON IT AS I SINGED THE FORM TO GET IT THAT DAY. I HAD IT INSURANCE THE DAY I PICKED IT UP, WITH THAT BEING SAID I LOVE THIS CAR! BUT IN THE LAST TWO YEARS I HAVE NOTICE A GROWING NUMBER OF INCIDENTS INVOLVING THE SEAT BELTS IN THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE AT TIMES FOUND IT DIFFICULT TO SECURELY FASTEN THE SEAT BELTS AT ALL. MY ATTEMPT TO GET THE SEAT BELT SECURED CAN BE LABORING; MY MOTHER WITH HER FAILING HEALTH CANNOT DO IT VERY WELL AT ALL. IF I WAS ONLY ONE OF THE THREE OF US I WOULD ASSUME THAT IT IS JUST MY VEHICLE BUT IT IS NOT. IT CAN TAKE UP TO 5 MINUTES TO DO THIS SIMPLE TASK. THIS MAKES ME QUESTION IF THE CONNECTION WILL GIVE WAY DURING AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT MY 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IS IN THIS CAR TWICE A DAY. THIS IS NOT JUST ONE CAR SEAT BELT BUT ALL THE ONES IN THE BACK AND FRONT. SINCE IT IS THE LAW TO ENSURE THAT ALL PERSONS IN A VEHICLE ARE SECURELY FASTENS IN THE RETRAINING DEVICES. THIS WAS A RECALL SOME TIME AGO BUT IT WAS NOT ADDRESS WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO A HONDA DEALER (2002 HONDA CR-V SEAT BELTS RECALL 01V351000), NOR THE ROCKING OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT (2002 HONDA CR-V SEATS RECALL 02V251000) WHICH I FIND MOST DISTRACTING. I FEAR THAT OWNER OF THIS USED VEHICLES WILL FIND IT REPAIR TO BE HIGH COST ITEMS. PLEASE CONSIDER AN INVESTIGATION OF THESE ISSUES. I HOPE THAT IT WILL RESULTS IN ANOTHER RECALL. IF NEED A PETITION TO COLLECT NAMES OF THE CURRENT OWNERS TO SHOW YOU THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS WILL OUT WEIGHT THE VERY CONSERVATIVE NUMBER OF AFFECTED OWNER FROM THE NUMBER ON THE RECALL NOTICE OF 2 IN THE 2002 HONDA CR-V SEATS RECALL 02V251000 AND 6744 AFFECTED OWNERS IN THE 2002 HONDA CR-V SEAT BELTS RECALL 01V351000. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2002 HONDA CR-V USED FROM A LOCAL HONDA DEALER. THE DRIVER SEAT ROCKED BACK AND FORTH FROM THE DATE OF MY PURCHASE IN 2003. A MECHANIC AT THE HONDA DEALER ON A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE SAID THAT IT WAS BROKEN, AND THAT IT WOULD BE A $300 PLUS REPAIR. I HAVEN'T DONE IT, BECAUSE I FIGURED FOR A CAR ONLY HAVING 20,000 MILES ON IT SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY, AND THEY SHOULD HAVE CAUGHT IT WHEN IT WENT THROUGH THE "CERTIFIED" WARRANTY PROGRAM. MY SEAT BELT ON THE DRIVER SEAT WON'T LOCK, UNLESS I REPEATEDLY PUT THE CLIP IN AND OUT, AND THEN IT WILL FINALLY ENGAGE AFTER 8 TO 10 TRIES. AGAIN, IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED IT, AND I BELIEVE THAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF IN THE "CERTIFIED" WARRANTY PROGRAM. OF COURSE, NOW IT IS 10 YEARS LATER, AND I ONLY HAVE 80,000 MILES ON THE CAR, AND SINCE THESE THINGS WERE PRESENT WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR, I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THESE ISSUES SHOULD NOT HAVE EXISTED. IT APPEARS THAT THESE ARE ISSUES THAT MANY OTHER HONDA OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING AS WELL, SO THAT WOULD SUGGEST MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *TR

PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2002. STARTING IN 2005, THE SEAT BELT WOULDN'T ENGAGE INTO THE BUCKLE. HAD TO FORCE AND FORCE THE BUCKLE IN FOR THE BUCKLE TO LOCK IN THE INSERT. RECENTLY, THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON. HONDA TELLS ME THAT THE SEAT BELT MUST BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT BUT THERE IS NO WARRANTY. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT THE SEAT BELT MAY IN FACT BE WARRANTED, BUT HONDA MADE NO MENTION OF THAT. *TR

I HAVE A 2002 HONDA CRV WITH 60,000 MILES AND I WAS DRIVING WITH MY AIR CONDITIONING RUNNING AND CAME TO A STOP LIGHT. AS SOON AS I PULLED AWAY THE CAR STARTING MAKING A VERY LOUD CLANKING NOISE. I PULLED OVER TO TRY TO FIGURE IT OUT AND REALIZED THAT WHEN I TURNED OFF THE AIR IT STOPPED. I DROVE BY THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SOUND WAS FROM THE FAILED AIR COMPRESSOR THAT WE ABOUT $1200-2500 TO REPLACE. I HAVE CALLED AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY REFUSED ANY GOODWILL ASSISTANCE. *TR

I HAVE A 2002 HONDA CR-V. I ALWAYS HAVE 2 CAR SEATS IN THE REAR OF IT. JUST YESTERDAY, THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE, THE PART THAT ATTACHES TO THE FLOOR, BROKE DURING A HARD STOP, SENDING ONE CHILD INTO THE REAR OF THE DRIVERS SEAT. THE INTERNAL PARTS OF THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE IS WHAT CAME UNDONE OR BROKE. THE CHILD TURNED OUT TO BE FINE, BUT JUST SCARED. THIS CAR IS ONLY 7.5 YEARS OLD, AND I DON'T BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE HAPPENING. I STILL REMEMBER THE OLD DAYS AND CARS WHEREAS THE BUCKLES WERE MADE OF METAL. EVERY BUCKLE IN THIS CAR IS PLASTIC! I'M A PRETTY GOOD SIZE GUY AND I JUST DON'T FEEL THAT MY DRIVERS SIDE WOULD HOLD ME IN IF I WAS EVER IN A FRONT END COLLISION. WHAT IF THAT CHILD HAD HIS WINDOW DOWN? HE COULD HAVE BEEN EJECTED OUT OF IT. A FRONT END COLLISION COULD'VE MEANT A BROKEN NECK OR SOMETHING? I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO SEE OUR HONDA DEALER ABOUT THIS YET, BUT I FEEL IT IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO CHECK ON THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2002 HONDA CRV WHICH HAS ONLY 35000 MILES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE SRS MUST HAVE WENT BAD AND IT WOULD COST $700 TO FIX. I ASKED IF THE LIGHT ON COULD BE CAUSED BY THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT LOCKING UP REGULARLY WHICH TEMPORARILY DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO GET ENOUGH SEAT BELT TO ACTUALLY REACH THE BUCKLE AND THE DEALER SAID THAT MIGHT BE THE PROBLEM BUT I STILL WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SRS SYSTEM. I ASKED IF THIS WAS A RECALL AND HE SAID NOT AT THIS TIME. I NOW HAVE CHECKED THE RECALLS AND SEE THAT THE SEAT BELTS AS WELL AS THE AIR BAGS HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF EITHER BY THE DEALER AND I WOULD THINK THIS WOULD BE IMMEDIATELY CORRECTED ESPECIALLY SINCE THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON WHICH IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO BOTH OF THESE SAFETY DEVICES. *JB
