When I open the driver's side door, the driver's seat belt retracts forward which is correct. But when I close the door, the driver's seat belt should retract back to me but it doesn't. The seat belt is stuck in the forward position, the red seat belt light is on and there is a constant beeping sounding.

Seat belts: front: buckle assembly
- What is wrong
- The front safety belt buckle release buttons can break. These red plastic release buttons are marked "press." if a button breaks, pieces can fall into the buckle assembly causing the buckle to operate improperly.
- Risk
- The safety belts would not provide adequate protection to an occupant in a vehicle crash.
- Remedy
- Owners should promptly check the condition and operation of both front safety belt buckles. Carefully inspect the red release button for any breaks or cracks. Check that both buckles are operating properly by inserting each latch plate into its buckle, tug on the belt to make sure the latch is securely locked, then press the release button. The latch plate should pop out of the buckle when the button is pressed. If either release button shows any sign of breakage or cracking, or if either buckle fails to operate properly, promptly contact your authorized honda/acura dealer to schedule an appointment to have the buckle replaced or repaired, free of charge. The manufacturer is developing a remedy designed to prevent the failure of the buttons that are not currently broken.

The electric seatbelt on the drivers side no longer retracts. Its stuck in the downward position. Took it to the acura dealership in peoria, az and I was told its not their problem to fix.. Yet I have read all over the internet that acura will fix for the life of the car. This is a major issue! If I get seriously injured or die is acura going to pay for my medical bills or my funeral since they were negligent in making sure something as a safety issue really works!!!! The seatbelt they made electric should be covered under full warranty since they made unsafe seatbelts that save lives!!!!!!! I believe this needs to be fixed asap. According to this site and google this is a major issue acura is ignoring since they created the seatbelt yet don't want to fix it! How is it the owner of the cars responsibility if they make a safety feature that doesn't even last the length of the vehicle! I will never buy acura or encourage anyone to buy from a maker who doesn't care about human safety!!!! Disgusting!!!
The driver's side seat belt retractor failed to operate beginning at 6:30 am tuesday, 3/22/2011, after putting my car key into the ignition and turning the car on (mileage = 239,146) to go to work. The retractor did not move at all and no sound was ever made indicating failure or trouble. This seat belt retractor has always worked during the entire time that I have owned the vehicle (note: I am not the original owner). The retractor simply failed in the unrestrained position (aka forward position) and has not moved since then. The red seat belt light is always on now, and if I happen to start the car with the driver's side door open (whether the seat belt is connected to the retractor or not), a beeping sound can be heard during the entire time that I am operating the vehicle. Otherwise, there is no beeping. (in the months leading up to the failure of the retractor, I noticed that when I would get into the driver's seat and close the driver side door and turn the car on, the retractor worked just fine but the red seat belt light would not turn off. I would then have to open my door and close it again and the light would always go away after that - strange isn't it?). On friday, 3/25/2011, I took this vehicle to sierra acura, a dealership located at 1700 w. Main st., alhambra, ca 91801, (mileage = 239,201) to determine why it failed, and to see if there were any warranties, recalls, etc. The sierra acura technician determined that the retractor's motor experienced an internal failure (not a mechanical failure) and recommended replacement of the seat belt motor assembly ($446) and the seat belt rail ($391). The dealership charged me $92.00 for this inspection service. According to a service advisor and service manager, the motor assembly and rail were not covered under any warranty, recall, etc. Only the belt itself and the red clips were covered.
