| Description of the problem | There is a problem with my seat belts. The local dealership says they are working as designed. I find it hard to believe that honda would agree seat belts that do not recoil while they are on you driving and seat belts that keep you from breathing are designed that way. The dealership said they cannot do anything. They are how they are. The vehicle was purchased new in january 2004. It has never been in an accident. The front seat bets intermittently do not recoil while driving and almost always after releasing them to exit the vehicle. They are progressively getting worse especially while driving. The concern is if there is an accident they might not engage. Sometimes i cannot get them to engage by manually pulling on them while in the car. The rear seat belts have always been extremely touchy. Not having any kids and rarely having back seat passengers this problem wasn't noticed. Recently i rode in the back seat and even slightly breathing would make the belts re-track to the point you can not even breathe out. Again the local dealership said there is nothing wrong with them. Wrote to honda 9/28/2012 requesting they replace the seat belts and currently waiting for a response. |
