| Description of the problem | The left and center rear passenger seat belts cross over when buckled. This makes it impossible to have a passenger with a center child seat (except a few unusual models) and difficult to belt in 3 passengers. It seems unsafe because of the extra load on the belts in a crash. I have contacted the dealer and the dealer contacted honda rep, i also complained to honda customer service. They respond the official honda national position is that the design is intentional to meet spacing requirements for outboard passenger, but no one including the engineer can verify that the design is safe in that it was crash tested this way. (the engineer states it is safe but does not know about crash testing). Can nhsta verify that this car is crash tested this way and these seat belts will protect rears seat passengers? Otherwise we must treat as a 4 passenger vehicle, while it is advertised and described in the manual as 5 passenger (false advertise?). We discovered the problem on 6/5/19 after purchase and meantime were working with dealer and honda to no avail. |
