Four problems related to front seat belt anchorage have been reported for the 1999 Honda Accord. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The Honda 2000 coupe ex is also displaying the same failure with the driver seatbelt.
Rear seat belts on both sides have frayed in identical places, where the shoulder belt enters the housing in the seat. Plastic "guard" is sharped edged, and has cut 1/2" into each seat belt. Showed to dealer during routine mtc. They claimed they hadn't seen anything like this ("did you close it in the door?" "no, we hardly use the back seats at all, since only two adults ride/drive this car. ") they agreed to one round of replacement under warranty, but we expect it may happen again.
Fuel gauge never read full, on a full gas tank. Dealer replaced fuel sending unit, which resolved the problem. Driver's side seat belt gets caught on the release lever of the seat-back while seat belt is buckled. This severely restricts the of movement of the driver. When this happens, I am strapped very tight in the seat until I can manage to remove the seat belt part that is stuck to the release lever.
I feel there is a serious safety problem with the rear seat belts. When you put them on, they lock tight around your neck and you can not loosen them unless you unhook them and let the belt go all the way back. I went to the dealer today to see if this was a defect and was told that this is what they are suposed to do. If these belts do not give during a collision, they will break your neck or choke you to death. Please advise. I thought seat belts were ment to be adjustable.
