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.

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.

The passenger side front seat belt buckle comes undone on its own. This has occurred with multiple passengers (~5) over the last several years (2003-2010). The reported date on this incident is the date of last occurrence. The first few times it happened, no records were kept because it wasn't obvious that the issue was a one-off incident due to incorrectly inserting the buckle. Each time, the belt buckle made an affirmative clicking sound when inserted, but gets undone own its own while driving. When it comes undone, a faint clicking sound can be heard, followed by the latch withdrawing slowly. The problem cannot be reproduced by latching and unlatching the buckle, and acura does refuses to replace the buckle.
