general problems of the 2009 Honda Odyssey

The front seat belt retractor tensioners don't work consistently. Sometimes the belt is a little loose when fastened after moving around a bit, or doesn't release when trying to put the belt on. When exiting the vehicle the belt often doesn't retract the belt enough to keep the belt or buckle/latch from getting closed in the door. It has been an ongoing problem over the last few years and the dealer said they are not covered by any warranty. As the primary safety device in a vehicle, I believe they should be designed to work reliably for the life of the vehicle. Other vehicles of the same age don't have the same issues.
