2018 Honda Odyssey Seat belts Problems

“Vehicle was stationary. I was sitting in the front passenger seat. I started to put on my seat belt, but when I pulled on the buckle, I found that the lower anchor point of the seat belt had come completely loose from the frame of the vehicle. No work has been done on that seat belt to my knowledge, so my assumption is that it came loose on its own. Clearly this is a major safety issue and could have resulted in a severe injury or death if I had been in an accident just before this bolt came completely loose.”

“My son was in his car seat in second row behind driver's seat when he grabbed the seatbelt of the middle seat that attaches to the roof and wrapped around his neck. He started coughing when we noticed that he had wrapped the seatbelt around his neck we stooped the car and I went back to take him out but the seatbelt was locked and there is no way to unlock the seatbelt so we had to cut the seatbelt in order to take him out of it. I tried to complain at Honda but they said nothing can be done as its the design of the vehicle and they can't do anything. …”

“I was travelling on a two lane surface road with a speed of 45 mph, travelling at or below posted speed and just starting to slow to make a right hand turn when I encountered / wandered over the solid white line into a pothole at the edge of the road where there is no shoulder.

There was no collision and no deployment of the front passenger airbag or any other bags in the vehicle. …”

“While my child was riding in the second row drivers side captains chair of my 2018 Odyssey, she fell asleep and unknowingly moved the shoulder strap portion of the seat belt behind her head/ upper body. I was driving and could not see that the belt had been moved because she was seated behind me and was also covered by a blanket. After the vehicle was parked, she unbuckled the seat belt and attempted to exit the vehicle. As she got out, the seat belt retracted and tightened around her abdomen and torso, trapping her against her seat. …”

“On 4/30/26 my 10 year old son was sitting in the middle row behind the driver buckled in his seatbelt. The middle row, middle seatbelt (that comes down from ceiling) got wrapped around his neck and kept tightening. He yelled for help. I was driving and saw in my rearview mirror that my son was being pulled up by his neck from the seatbelt in the ceiling. I pulled into a shopping center immediately to try to help him. I could not reach down in between the seats to unhook it because the more I tried to release him, the more it would tighten. …”
