2 Front Seat Belt Anchorage problem

Failure Date: 05/08/1999

I did not think much of my defective seatbelt system until I saw that Honda Accords have already been recalled (97v220000) for this system. My problem is that the belt locks up during normal driving. What I mean is it locks up , holding the person in securely-in fact too tight so that the person cannot move without getting held in even tighter(like a boa constrictor). So since there is no accident ocurring the passenger removes the seat belt to "free" themselves up and re-fasten. Well what if an accident occurs at this same time ? I did get the belt replaced in a week or so for free. So I am concerned that maybee others need to get checked out. Thanks for this easy site and service. Prosperity to you all.
