Two problems related to rear seat belt have been reported for the 1999 Honda Odyssey. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Problem is not with car seat but seat belt on the Honda odyessy 1999. The middle row, passenger side seat belt has failed three times. It losses spring action, and has been replaced three times by the Honda dealership in the past 6 months. Our four year old sits in the seat with a booster. Attending a car seat seminar through the county we live in, they stated that once the belt is fastened it must be fully extended to the locked position. With the first two replacements of the seat belt the dealership told me it was correct to extend and lock the seat belt. Upon the last replacement they recommended that we do not extend and lock the seat belt. We feel this is not proper operation for full safety. We also fear for our child's safety if we do extend and lock the belt, due to the three failures.
There is so much play within the rear seat belt that the rear seat belt will get so tight that consumer's child got stuck in the rear seat belt. Consumer had to use a pair of scissor's to cut the child out off the rear seat belt.
