Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have a 2000 Honda Civic ex and the driver's side seat belt sometimes releases on its own. This happens unpredictably and I have noticed it multiple times in the last few years. Once it releases I push it back in harder and it seems to work. I noticed a similar complaint and so I brought it to your attention.”
NHTSA complaint #10317072, filed 2010-03, 83,000 miles“I was involved in a horrible car crash on march 15, 2008. An 18-wheeler swerved into my lane while driving on the highway. When the 18-wheeler swerved, the back of his load hit (the 1st) time on the passenger side. I was then sucked underneath the 18-wheeler, flipped several times while being drug for 100 yards still underneath the 18-wheeler the entire time. Once the vehicle stopped, I was upside down hanging from the 18-wheeler. The airbags in my 2000 Honda Civic never deployed from any side. I was hit with a major impact at every angle upside down and all around. …”
NHTSA complaint #10226836, filed 2008-05, 118,000 miles“While pulling into a parking space, the vehicle suddenly accelerated and lurched into the air, resulting in a collision. The consumer's foot was on the brake pedal when the acceleration occurred. The dealership was not providing any assistance to determine what caused the failure. Also the driver's side seat belt failed to retract, it was loose. This resulted in the consumer impacting the steering wheel. Prior to this incident the seat belt recall repairs were performed 3 times. The air bag did not deploy as well.”
NHTSA complaint #10080123, filed 2004-08, 54,126 miles“I was involved in a single car, weather related accident. I was traveling approximately 35-40 miles per hour in heavy snow. I was wearing my seatbelt which came unlatched upon initial impact with a guard rail on the rear passenger side. My car then crossed the road and went into a ditch, striking some large boulders. That impact was on the front, driver side of the vehicle. The airbag did not deploy and the car was significantly damaged and declared a total loss. …”
NHTSA complaint #11196897, filed 2019-04“The cars safety belts have had trouble retracting for about 5 years. I was unaware of being able to report safety issues, or would have much sooner. Most recently the low beams went out. The srs light is also on. The cars horn is wired into the srs system. So you loose two major safety features at once. Very bad design. The drivers seat had been loose for years. The skid plate/floorboard cracked and allowed the bolts or hardware to corrode. I ran the VIN and was surprised no recalls are available, as the problems my family is experiencing have been recalled on similar Honda's.”
