Seat belt around child using a child safety seat malfunctioned and could not be removed. Seat belt continued to tighten to the point of suffocation for child. It would not retract. All efforts to release seat belt caused it to further tighten. Due to fear that child would be asphyxiated, seat belt was cut. In effort to get it repaired, I have found that seat belts are not kept in stock and will have to be ordered.

The rear center passenger seat belt buckle blocks access to the rear passenger buckle. I asked the dealership and Honda America to change this design and the dealer's answer was, "unable to relocate buckles for proper operation. " basically the rear passenger has to ride without seat belt protection if there is a rear center passenger.

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.

The occupant,10 years old, in the rear seat took the seat belt off to reach for something. Somehow the seat belt got twisted around the passenger's waist and continued to tighten after every movement. Seat belt had to be cut off because the passenger became upset and had difficulty breathing. Dealer will replace the seat belt only at consumer's expense.
