“Takata recall: I bought a used 2002 odessey with 200,000 miles on it. And after I got it home I noticed the srs light being on. I thought it is a simple loose connection. But after searching online, it seems to be a serious problem which needs urgent attention and fixing.”
NHTSA complaint #11013597, filed 2017-08, 200,000 miles“Upon buying a 2002 Honda Odyssey, we expressed concern that the 2nd-row passenger-side seat belt would not lock at the shoulder/frame point (the device responsible for locking the seat belt in place so as to restrict feed and keep a passenger from flying forward.). This was necessary to properly anchor our infant/toddler safety seat. Three dealer employees tried to properly tighten the safety seat, but despite a metal safety-seat locking clip also being used, the seat belt still loosened up when the infant/toddler seat was jiggled. …”
NHTSA complaint #10160638, filed 2006-06, 34,000 miles“On nov 2nd, my 5 year old daughter inserted her finger into the buckle of the seat belt next to her. Her finger became lodged into the opening and would not come out. She was hysterical and became ill in the back seat. We tried unsuccessfully to remove her finger. It was too swollen. We had to contact the chicago fire department. They had to cut the seat belt out of the car. They were going to have to cut the buckle of her finger, when a ingenious fireman decided to wrap her finger with dental floss. After about 15 minutes he was able to remove her finger from the buckle. …”
NHTSA complaint #10008541, filed 2002-11, 3,000 miles“Problem: srs light has been on since 11/07/10. At initial visit to Honda dealer on 11/11/10, problem diagnosed as faulty seat belt buckle. Honda stated part on back order until 11/24/10. Now Honda says part on back order until approximately 12/09/10. With srs light on it is questionable as to whether air bags will deploy in a crash.”
NHTSA complaint #10368755, filed 2010-11, 88,600 miles“Took car in for recall. On pickup of car noticed srs light illuminated. Dealer will not fix light unless I pay money. But light came on after fixing airbag recall.”
