Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“As I entered the car the and went to buckle the seat belt. I pushed gentle back on the seat back. At that point the seat back dropped back into the rear seat. When the dealer looked at it he advised me that the seat adjuster has failed. If the car was in a accident I would have been severely hurt. Honda USA will not do anything to help fix this major safety issue with their seat.”
NHTSA complaint #10561889, filed 2014-01, 160,000 miles“I was driving on the highway in florida. I had a 5 year old strapped in a booster seat in the third row of my 2006 Honda Pilot (she was sitting on the driver's side of the 3rd row). She told us that her seat belt just broke. We pulled over. Apparently the female buckle end came off the seat belt strap. I don't understand what happened, the loop in the buckle though which the strap goes through seems very corroded (not rust but a whitish powder). The buckle was loose and could simply slip off the strap. This could be very dangerous. I just looked it up and couldn't find any information on this. …”
NHTSA complaint #10721258, filed 2015-05, 116,440 miles“Traveling on a desolate highway, I heard my son whimper in the back seat. To my horror, I saw that he had tangled the seatbelt around his neck and was being lifted from his seat by it. My husband pulled off the road and we lunged back to release the belt. We then realized that he was not trapped by his own seatbelt but by the seatbelt designed for a center passenger in the second row. This belt comes down from the ceiling and connects at the seat to a latch designed without a quick release button. The latched belt had been resting against the seat behind my son's right shoulder. …”
