“2006 Honda Accord driver shoulder seat belt will not retract or extend. On may 19, 2014 got into my Honda Accord and could not get my drivers seat belt to work. Honda will not replace this faulty seat belt under the seat belt warranty even though this malfunction was not caused by an accident, collision or misuse. Honda is not concerned with safety. Seat belts save lives and in louisiana wearing a seat belt is the law, but according the Honda of covington and the Honda headquarters they are not required to replace a faulty seat belt.”
NHTSA complaint #10593274, filed 2014-05, 236,000 miles“The left passenger seatbelt will not retract - supposed to be a lifetime warranty and as a result airbag indicator light is on, so I take it to the dealer and they tell me seatbelts are on back order and they said it could be months or even years before I get a seatbelt and there is no ETA for it to arrive. So now, I have to drive the vehicle with no seatbelt and non-working airbags risking tickets or worse loss of life. This is unacceptable. What is the point of a lifetime warranty .”
NHTSA complaint #11516604, filed 2023-04“Took my vehicle in for air bag recall, a few months later, the srs light came on. Took vehicle back to same dealer that had replaced air bag and now I'm told that the srs unit has gone bad and no safety features (air bags, seat belts) will work if I am in a crash. I can pay over $730 to fix this unit. Additionally, I am asked when my battery had died- which it hasn't died. However, the only time in the last few years when my battery was touched was when they disconnected it to replace the drivers recalled air bag. …”

Returned the vehicle today after long trip to bordering state in which the connection at the door panel of the shoulder safety belt rattles right into the drivers left ear. Had this trip been taken within the 5 day period after taking delivery and been told it was something which could not be fixed, it would have been returned to the dealer for return of our 99 acura. Now I have a brand new car with rattle at my left ear and most unhappy. …”
