“I just purchased a 1991 Honda accord lx and the automatic seatbelt is jammed it does not go back to where I can wear it, thus I only have a lap belt. I was told that Honda does have a lifetime warranty on the seatbelt and its components. I was also told that it was up to the dealer as to whether or not the seat belt track was under warranty. Honda states that the seat belts and their functioning components are under a lifetime warranty. With this said, Honda states that it is up to the dealer as to if it is covered. …”
NHTSA complaint #10292606, filed 2009-11, 236,971 miles“I have a 1990 Honda accord lx with automatic seatbelts. The driver seatbelt will not retract into place. I called the Honda dealer in maplewood, minnesota to have them look at the problem. They were unable to come up with a solution and charged me $95 for their time to diagnose. Is this a safety issue if I get into an accident with a fautly seatbelt? How do you think I should solve this problem, since the Honda dealer cannot even fix the problem. The year is 2003, which is not an option on incident date.”
