Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The middle row seat belt on the drives side has broken/malfunctioned two times in under two months!! It has been taken to the dealership both times for repair. My 51/2 year old daughter has been in the seat both times when it has happened. The seat belt loses tension (feeds all the way out onto her lap) and then locks. We are unable to fix it on our own. Each time we take it to the dealer and they have to replace the entire seat belt.”
NHTSA complaint #10093888, filed 2004-10, 60,000 miles“My 2001 Honda Odyssey just recently shows that the red srs light stays on continually while driving the vehicle. The owners manual indicates that some part of the safety restraint system is malfunctioning. This may include the air bag or seat belt tensioning system.”
NHTSA complaint #11210034, filed 2019-05, 84,494 miles“Consumer's daughter finger became wedged in the hole in the male section of the seat belt buckle. The buckle was cut from the vehicle and carried to the hospital for removal. The child suffered tissue damage and muscles bruising.”
NHTSA complaint #10059720, filed 2004-02, 36,000 miles“Driver seat belt keeps releasing by itself. I put on my seat belt and then it pops open. I haven’t been in any accidents but it’s scares me that it can just release easily therefore no providing me with any protection. I have not taking it in to be reviewed but it has happened multiple times”
NHTSA complaint #11647207, filed 2025-03“My driver seat belt keeps unlatching . It happens to often. I know there was a previous recall for it but everytime I look it up it doesn’t show on the website. I previously reported here I think last year. Also when shows as an error on the obd reader. As a failing seat belt system recall. My insurance company shows the driver air bag is recalled but again when I look it up here . You list no information about these recalls and it’s scary since both are critical.”
