2011 Honda Odyssey. Consumer states problem with rear seat belt the consumer stated the rear seat had a middle seat which folded down into a console. The set belt for the middle was attached to the ceiling above in lieu of the seat itself. The other two back seats reclined and therefore, the seat belt hung in the general area where ones hand would be while reclining. While driving, the consumers children were reclining, napping and playing in the back seat, when all of a sudden, one of the children began yelling. The consumer looked backed and discovered the other child had managed to wrap the seat belt around her neck several times.

(the vehicle belonged to the consumers mother-in-law).

My daughter, hannah (age 2 years, 3 months was sitting in the car seat behind driver in the 2006 Honda Odyssey. We have the 8 seat model. She took the seat belt from the center row middle seat and twisted it around her neck. I realized this when we got to a friend's house. When she moved her head or I tried to loosen the belt it got tighter. My friend had to come out with a scissor and we had to cut the belt. The problem was that the seat belt for the center seat in the middle row came down from the ceiling, and was very easy for a young child sitting in a car seat to reach over and grab it.

Upon buying a 2002 Honda Odyssey, we expressed concern that the 2nd-row passenger-side seat belt would not lock at the shoulder/frame point (the device responsible for locking the seat belt in place so as to restrict feed and keep a passenger from flying forward. ). This was necessary to properly anchor our infant/toddler safety seat. Three dealer employees tried to properly tighten the safety seat, but despite a metal safety-seat locking clip also being used, the seat belt still loosened up when the infant/toddler seat was jiggled. The dealer employees gave up claiming that 1-inch play between the toddler seat and the van seat was legal and promised the belt would lock in place in the event of an accident and my child would be safe. On this assurance, we left the dealership with the van. For over 3 years I tightened that seat belt anchoring the safety seat every week or two. I complained to the dealership at least twice during that time when the van was in for maintenance. They never checked it out, only told me not to worry as the seat belt would work properly if we were in an accident. The toddler seat was recently replaced with a child booster seat using the seat belt standard over the shoulder. On June 2, 2006, on impact with another car, that same shoulder-belt locking device did not engage. The feed to that seat belt was not restricted, and as a result of this failure to engage, my child, sitting in that 2nd row passenger van seat was thrown toward the front side seat (approximately 2-3 feet away). She hit the front seat face first with her booster seat now on top of her and was then thrown back, incurring numerous injuries. The vehicle is being held at the collision shop awaiting inspection by someone from your organization to examine the seat belt and, hopefully, determine why it failed.

My 14-year old became entangled in the seat belt in the 3rd row passenger-side seat of our new Honda Odyssey van. The seat belt was wrapped around his waist. The seat belt would not allow us to gain any slack to loosen the belt. All attempts to loosen (by feeding in slack to gain release) only made the belt tighter until my child was literally hanging from the roof of the vehicle. This happened on an interstate, 8 hours from home. Luckily I was able to cut the belt to release him. (I happened to have a knife in the car, which is very unusual. ) I have asked Honda to repair the belt. They have offered 50% only. I am more concerned that there is not a manual override to allow the seat belt to be released. I understand now that the seat belt goes into a different mode when extended all the way. It will not release until the belt is retracted all the way. It sounds like Honda has fixed a safety issue concerning child car seats, but they have created a new safety hazard for all children. What if the belt had gotten wrapped around his neck? any child placed in a seat belt has the potential of pulling the seat belt out all of the way and allowing it to get wrapped around their body or neck.

The lap/shoulder belt in the center position of the third row seat was anchored with the anchor latch. My 2 1/2 yr old child pulled the seat belt down; somehow it wrapped around his neck. The seat belt had been pulled out completely, so it was locked. The automatic seat belt tensioner was activated and the belt was tight around his neck. Thankfully, he made enough noise to arouse attention from a person sitting in the second row. There was barely enough room for my fingers to fit between the belt and his neck - with him leaning completely back on his carseat. The anchor can only be released using the latch plate, but the belt was too tight. We were forced to cut the seat belt to relieve the tension on his neck. He received welps on both the right and left sides of his neck. We immediately filed a complaint with the city police department. This could have been a fatal incident as I am almost always by myself with my triplet children and would probably not have seen nor heard him!!! at the very least, parents should be notified of this possibility.

The middle rear seat belt on driver's side will not retract properly. Vehicle was taken to the dealer for repairs and problem recurred within two month or less.

When trying to remove her child from the booster seat, the seat belt became attached to his foot and it was impossible to unlatch the belt and it had to be cut off.

Another car turned left in front of me, with no signal or no notice. I hit her and my air bags deployed and my seat belt held me fine. My kids were in the second row seat with seat belts on. They both hit the seat in front of them. I think the handles that are on the seats (bad design). My son lost 4 permanent teeth and had lacerations to his face. My daughter had a concussion and now has a huge scar on her lip and chin. I guess the shoulder straps failed to lock?.

3rd row passenger rear seat belt lock up, seatbelt will not retract. Seat beat was not buckled but a small child managed to get entagled in the seat belt. The seat belt cinched tighter when attempting to release seat belt around the child's abdomen to the point where the child had difficulty breathing. Seat belt could not be pulled down or retracted to release child from the seat belt. Seat belt had to be cut to release child.

Rear bucket seat buckle unbolted from its structure without any impact or force being applied. There were problems with the temperature control knob. (the entire heat a/c control panel was replaced), the front brake pads had to be replaced and the rotors had to be cut, the check engine light had come on, and gasoline was smelled each time the engine was shut off.

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.

The first failure resulted in the belt not retracting, the second failure resulted in the belt not locking after being retracted. (both incident occurred in the same seat).

The right rear seat belt has been replaced twice for tightening on a child. Now the middle rear seat belt buckle has come off.

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.

The seat belt locking mechanism activated when the consumer's grandson attempted to pick something off the floor with the seat belt on. The seat belt retracted even more when the child tried to pull the shoulder strap in the process to unlatch himself. Consumer tried to look for a method to deactivate the locking mechanism of the seat belt in the owner's manual but with no avail. That led to a decision to cut the belt with scissors.

Owner states that her rear lap belts cannot tighten correctly to support her child seat, owner notes that there is too much play in lap belt. Dealers have not corrected problem.

Seatbelt design defective on Odyssey minivans. In the center row of seats, with a bench seat configuration, the seatbelt does not protect the seat occupant from the risk of serious injury or death from a side or corner impact collision. I have contacted Honda and they have indicated that this is the design of the seatbelt and that the flip down armrrest is what would protect the belted occupant from harm, which is nonsense. The Ford windstar has the proper restraint - there is a secondary latch used to properly restrain the seat occupant in the seat. This is a very serious defect insofar as people may also place baby seats in this seat and assume the seatbelt will protect the child. It won't - the child seat would slip out from under the belt. Please advise on what steps happen next.
