2003 Acura MDX Seat belts Problems

“The srs (air bag) may fail to deploy in an accident if the driver's seat belt is unbuckled at any point during the drive, even if it is subsequently buckled prior to and during the accident. With the engine running, if I unbuckle the seat belt, the seat belt warning light does not illuminate, however, the srs (air bag) warning light does illuminate. When I start the vehicle the srs and seat belt light are usually both illuminated for the ignition test period of 3-5 seconds. …”

“I was driving on the carpool lane of 170n with my two kids (heading to 5n) when there was suddenly a dog,yellow labrador crossing the freeway and getting right on my lane. I tried to slow down and brake but it was too late,I hit the dog right on the front of my car. I felt my seat belt tightened uncomfortably thereafter and I released it so I can reset and put it again,but it won't pull to reach the port on my right side,it seemed stuck. It was right around that time we started smelling smoke thereafter we hit the dog. …”

“My son was driving in town normal speed it was raining, he had to make a quick stop to avoid a car in front of him that made a quick stop also. The bumpers barely touched, left no marks at all, not even to the front license plate. The airbag deployed and black and blued his arm. We received a recall notice for this 2003 MDX. Took it in to libertyville Acura and they fixed one part of the recall but refused to fix the deployed airbag and seatbelts. That's not right! The steering wheel airbag should not have deployed without a crash! What gives. …”

“My daughters MDX was driven by her son and he had to make a sudden stop under rainy conditions. There was no crash, and the slightest contact with the stopped car in front. There is no damage to either car, the touch was so slight there was not even a scratch nor a bent license plate. To our shock the steering wheel airbag had deployed and safety belts locked up. There is no way that airbag should of deployed. There is a recall for the airbag system. The dealer did part of several parts of the recall, but refused to replace the steering wheel airbag and repair the frozen front seat belts.”
