Seat Belt Problems of Honda Accord - part 2

Upon removing the driver seat belt after a trip today, I noticed the buckle release button was sticking down. I re-inserted the buckle, and heard the "click" sound indicating the buckle was securely fastened. I applied tension on the belt buckle, which released without pressing the button! I searched the internet for recalls, and found the 2018-2019 Honda Accord was recalled for a seat belt release button repair. However, there was no information about a recall for the 2020 model year, which I experienced this issue with. My safety has been put at risk as I am unsure how long the belt buckle has been able to be removed without pressing the buckle release button. I have not yet contacted Honda about the concern. A video is available and this issue is repeatable. There were no warning messages. My vehicle is available for inspection upon request.

I have reported that software cannot be updated on my car. Since my first report my rear seatbelts no longer need to be fastened with children in the car or the seat belt notification of not being fastened does not work. My air conditioner will stop if my infotainment system needs to be adjusted through my phone, and today in the rain my brakes locked up twice. The latter occurrence was coming down 1000 foot downhill in the rain with a car in front and an 18 wheeler behind me.

The seatbelt fabric seems to be wearing/rubbing off. Every time I buckle up, I have a bunch of its fabric all over my shirt. Thinking after a little more uses that the seatbelt will thin itself out a break or pop and won’t be strong enough to protect me.

Honda issued a recall notice for repairing seat belts that fail on this vehicle, assuring customers the repair would be a quick one hour replacement. I learned from mark anderson at findlay Honda in las vegas in April 2023 that this is an outright lie. Honda requires the repair facility to photograph the seat belt, submit the photos and if it looks like it needs replacement, they will send out the parts. During this time, which can take 2 days According to mr. Anderson, the car is forcefully sequestered and Honda will not provide a loaner car. As this renders the repair process a costly burden for the customer, Honda is assuring their customers remain at risk of death or severe injury due to failing seat belts they will not replace.

The left passenger seatbelt will not retract - supposed to be a lifetime warranty and as a result airbag indicator light is on, so I take it to the dealer and they tell me seatbelts are on back order and they said it could be months or even years before I get a seatbelt and there is no eta for it to arrive. So now, I have to drive the vehicle with no seatbelt and non-working airbags risking tickets or worse loss of life. This is unacceptable. What is the point of a lifetime warranty .

Unknown - I have a 2004 Honda Accord which indicates an airbag issue. The seat belt buckles but the light stays on. Many 2004 Accords were in a recall over srs but my VIN did not show as part of the recall. The dealer says the seat sensor is bad but they are not making the part any longer. What should I do. I guess the maker should replace with a new system.

I received an indication on my dash that there was an issue with the srs system. I took the vehicle to a certified Honda dealership for diagnostic treatment and it was determined that the wires on the passenger seat had been rubbing on the track that the seat slides on and consequently tore the srs wires near the passenger seat belt causing a failure in the restraint system.

The driver's side seat belt does not latch. The problem started 3 months ago. We contacted Honda dealer and was told it is not part of the Honda seat belt recall as the recall relates to Honda models 2018-2020. However please note it is the same exact problem with the seat belt in my car. I have been using the passenger side latch to buckle the seatbelt. I contacted Honda corporation and was told to have the car inspected by local Honda dealer and provide them with a inspection report. Honda corporation is not willing to fix the seatbelt issue. I am informing your agency so you can take appropriate action and include the older models of Honda with the same seat belt problem as the current recall on Honda before someone get injured due to the fact they are using passenger seat belt latch. Also we are unable to use the passenger seat. Please give this matter urgent attention as it is a big safety issue.

Rear seat passenger seat belt stopped working. Passenger indicated seat belt wouldn't buckle. Dealer inspected the seat belt and ordered the seat belt buckle on 2/3/2023. Part was ordered at highest priority, but estimated release date from Honda's vendor is 5/28. Four months without critical safety part seems excessive. Honda customer service is unable to do anything to expedite availability of part from their vendor.

The seatbelt srs system light was previously identified as defective by american Honda. When my notification light came on I immediately took vehicle to Honda dealership for repair. I have been forced to do so multiple time during my vehicle ownership. Currently the srs light has come back on yet Honda refuses to fully and completely repair the cause. I fear for my safety and others should an unfortunate accident were to occur. I reported the issue to american Honda. Incident report number 12902734.

Driver seatbelt does not buckle, parking brake malfunction with brake light on, air bag light on.

When the car is switched on and started driving, randomly the yellow passenger airbag light on the center dashboard would start blinking. Blinks with a 5 second gap almost. And randomly after that happens, I get the are airbag light on my dash saying "suppliment system restraint problem. See your dealer". In order to reset this, I have to switch off the car, wait for a few minutes and start again. Sometimes this issue would come right away after starting the car, sometime not for days. Reading the code, it's gave the following code b00d5-14.

Srs warning light is on continuously. Independ shop says error code is for driver front seat belt latch sensor. Honda dealers says sensor is not part of lifetime warranty for seat belts, even though sensor is fully integrate with seat belt latch, and part of the vital safety system. Independent shop is reluctant to repair for liability and Honda dealer want huge payment for simple repair. It is unfair and unethical for dealer and manufacturer to not honor there printed warranty.

The vehicle was in motion and slid off the road, the airbags did not deploy and a code for the seatbelt was detected.

On October 25, 2020, the bolt holding the drivers seatbelt unscrewed itself during normal use, stripped the bolt threads, and failed. It appears to have been in a position to fail for many miles. If an accident had occurred, the seatbelt would not have worked. The seatbelt components are mandated under 49 cfr 571. 209. I have attached photos of the seatbelt buckle bolt. I have a simple solution to prevent this from occurring in the future, however, I can't seem to find anyone who cares about the technicalities. It would be great to speak with an engineer about this. The Honda dealer and customer service rep were worthless. They refused to sell me a replacement part unless I signed a liability waiver. I of course refused, because they have the liability. I guess they didn't like it when I told them they had a legal responsibility to provide the part and that I directed them to pick up the phone, call the production plant, and have the person sitting next to the bucket of bolts send me a replacement bolt. . . So I could install it myself. I purchased a 7/16-20 unf bolt through mcmaster carr and had to turn a new shoulder on a lathe. It's not as good as the proper shoulder bolt, but it is safe right now. Are there any avenues through NHTSA that would allow me to provide a solution to Honda, and to get a proper replacement bolt? it's a dangerous situation that is likely to manifest during a traffic crash.
