“The seatbelt in the middle row driver side has ripped/shredded three times in the three months that I have owned the car I have had a car seat installed in this seat but the rip is high up on the belt and no where near the car seat itself. The first time it happens the vehicle was in motion and I had one of my children strapped in and the belt tore in half while it was being used driving on a city street.”
NHTSA complaint #10919241, filed 2016-10, 136 miles“Purchased a new 2016 Honda Odyssey in 2016. I noticed my seat belt was starting to fray in late aug 2020. I called 2 local Honda dealers and spoke to service. I asked about the seat belth, I was told no recall, and Honda does not cover the material. It is cosmetic. I fail to see how a fraying belt is cosmetic. The mechanic who replaced the belt system fet that the belt may not hold if there was a front end collision. I asked Honda to reimburse me. They declined stating that the web material of the belt was not covered. It was a safety hazard. …”
