2015 Honda Fit Seat belts Problems

“Rear left seat belt buckle and rear center seat belt buckle are installed reversed, center is on left, left is center which makes for extreme difficulties for children to safely buckle and unbuckle their seat belts. My son is 11 and found it difficult. Also it's extremely uncomfortable for him to sit there with the center buckle digging into his hip. I've owned numerous cars and no car maker has ever done such a thing before, let alone try to pass it off as acceptable.”

“Hello, my wife owns a Honda FIT 2015, just recently she went to pick my mother up from the hospital after a shoulder operation. When my wife arrived at my mother's home she stopped the car in front of my mom's home (on city street), she opened the passenger side door and to try to help my mother to exit the car, she pulled the seatbelt to release it, but it only got tighten more and more, to the point of being unable to unrestrained it, during that process of trying to unrestrained the seat belt, my mother had to be moved back and forth and to the sides and she started bleeding from her…”

“I read online that rear seatbelts were being installed incorrectly in mexico Honda plant (ceyla, mexico). So, I tried out the belts. One seatbelt does no work at all !!

I have to really tug on belt, and I'm 54 years old with no arthritis in my hands or grip-strength problems. These seatbelts are awful. …”

“There is an issue with the seat belt bracket for the center and left (drivers side) rear seats, the buckles are mounted backwards. So to use the buckle you would have to cross with the other buckle as they are not the same and cannot be interchanged . The buckle mounted towards the outside to be used by that passenger is even marked center. Creates a safety issue for rear passengers.”

“Seatbelt buckles in center of back seats are bolted into seat crossed, making the seatbelt buckles overlapping eachother in back seat. Could pose risk of breaking due to excess weight not supported by one bolt. Weight of two passengers are now distributed between the bolts, instead of one bolt per person.”
