2011 Honda Odyssey Seat belts Problems

“I parked my car in the driveway of my daughter's playdate's house and stepped out for less than 5 minutes to pick her up, leaving my 8 year old son in the third row in the van. After helping her with shoes and a jacket my daughter ran out in front of me then told me my son was screaming. I thought he was screaming because he was upset with me. I returned to find my son with a red face, streaming tears and holding on to the seat yelling, mom! I can't breathe! The belt's around my neck! Help me! Indeed my son's neck was entangled in the second row middle seat belt. …”

“2.10 year old daughter took the middle seat belt which hangs from the top of the car of our 2011 Honda Odyssey and wrapped it around her neck. The seat belt locked and you could not release it except to cut it off. Police was called to cut the belt she had bruises on her neck but nothing more serious. Thank god I did not brake hard or she could have been strangled. They should have an emergency release button or a better location for the seat belt. Out of reach of a curious toddler.”

“My 6 year old daughter was sitting in the 3rd row passenger side of the car. She wanted to get a blanket out of the trunk while driving on the highway because she was cold. She unbuckled and turned to lean over the third row seat into the trunk. She inadvertently had her neck caught in the middle seat belt which was not buckled but still suspended from the mid-line of the car. The seat belt locked in place and became like a noose around her neck. My 9 year old daughter attempted to release the middle seat belt from the bottom. I was a passenger in the car while my husband was driving. …”

“We had a disturbing incident of my 16 year old son getting stuck and twisted in seat belt on a long drive to Montana. We had a safety worker helping us and he tore off the side of the plastic where the seat belt is, hoping to find a release button with no luck.. he ended up having to cut the belt. Now our van has lots of damage from that when it could have been an easy fox with a release .. it was a very tense 40 mins of getting it off.. it was very tight around his waist and constricting his abdomen”

“Rear seat passenger of uber vehicle struck by another vehicle in high impact collision wound up on floor of vehicle. She believes she engaged the seat belt prior to collision & questions why she was thrown on to floor of vehicle. Both vehicles in motion. Other vehicle ran a stop sign at 60 MPH on city street.”
