Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When securing the driver's side seatbelt, it seemed to be too tight and did not allow room to reach the dash. Took it back to the dealership and they lubricated it and said it was working fine. It still continued to feel too tight - especially when compared to the passenger side. So, I stopped by a Honda dealership and tried the seatbelt in one of their 2016 models and found that it had the same snugness as my vehicle. I have since measured both the driver's seatbelt and the front passenger seatbelt. …”
NHTSA complaint #10836865, filed 2016-02, 2,000 miles“Driver's seat belt does not work properly. It is at least 10 inches shorter that all other seat belts in the vehicle. This makes it impossible to look around and see clearly when backing, turning, and merging. Also, there is not an elr with this belt. This seems like a huge safety issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11301589, filed 2020-01, 50,000 miles“The seat belt on the driver's side is too short. I can barely get it to fasten and when I do I have no ability to move. I can't lean forward to look for traffic, light changes, etc. This seems to be a problem as I went on a Honda forum and others experience the same issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11605897, filed 2024-08“Hood - flutters and wobbles significantly at highway speeds. Per recall check, this vehicle is not included. Seat belt - more of a personal thing, but the driver's seat belt cuts into the driver's neck, even when high of shoulder strap is adjusted. When using a device to help control where the shoulder strap lays, it was found that the driver's seat belt is MUCH shorter than all other in the vehicle. Therefore not allowing the driver to use something to adjust the shoulder portion and still safely check blind spots.”
