Seat belts: front: buckle assemblyReported February 8, 2002 · 16,459 vehicles affected
What is wrong
Certain sedans and coupes fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 209, "seat belt assemblies." certain rear seat belt buckles were improperly manufactured.
Risk
The rear seat belts will work properly and provide protection in a crash, but the owner may experience difficulty unfastening the belt after the crash.
Remedy
In a previous recall (01v‑380), only right and left buckles were inspected. The rear center buckle should also be inspected and corrected if necessary. This recall is being conducted only for the center buckle. Dealers will inspect the vehicles and replace the seat belt assemblies that were imrpoperly manufactured. Only buckles that are marked (on the back side of the buckle) with an assembly number beginning with 00185, 00186, or 00187, will be replaced. Owners should contact their dealer for this replacement. Owner notification began march 5, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact honda at 1‑800‑999‑1009.

My Honda dealership has the necessary seat belt part back ordered for months on end.

The seatbelt SRS system light was previously identified as defective by American Honda. When my notification light came on I immediately took vehicle to Honda Dealership for repair. I have been forced to do so multiple time during my vehicle ownership. Currently the SRS light has come back on yet Honda refuses to fully and completely repair the cause. I fear for my safety and others should an unfortunate accident were to occur. I reported the issue to American Honda. Incident report number 12902734.

Had driver seat belt buckle replaced 6/11/20 as SRS light came on. Unaware there had been a recall, work not done at honda dealer, paid out of pocket. Code 9-3. Exact same problem occurred again in early june 2018 where SRS light came on. Went to honda to purchase part, learned several days later there was an active recall for the driver seat belt buckle issue. Honda dealer did not advise active recall for issue at time part was purchased. Purchased part, learned of recall, honda dealer repaired at no charge to me. Eighteen months later, exact same problem and code. No open recall at this time. Clearly there is an issue with the seat belt buckle/sensor failing so the airbags will not deploy. I am not going to pay again to have this issue resolved. Received safety recall notice from honda and I am on a waiting list to get the airbag issue resolved as there is an open recall for the airbags but the seat belt problem is ongoing. Vehicle was stationary. Started car, SRS light was illuminated, had code read and learned it was the driver's seat belt buckle that has gone bad again.

The "SRS" light is on in the dashboard. It has been determined that the passenger seat belt latch is faulty. It is dangerous to ride a passenger in this vehicle for fear that the seat belt would not work properly if the vehicle was in an accident or just hit by another driver. Please advise on the repair procedures. The pixels on the mileage and miles driven is not working properly. The mileage and miles drives numbers cannot be read.

"takata recall" SRS light has remained consistently on in the instrument panel since 10/20/16. I was told by the garage that services my car that I need to have my airbag replaced. The light had come on after I started my car, and it has not shut off since.

Tl* the contact owns a 2000 honda accord. While driving 10 MPH over potholes or bumps in the road, the seat belt ratcheting system tightened up the passenger side seat belt. The seat belt failed and would not readjust tension until unhitched and returned back to the start position. The manufacturer was notified. The VIN and failure mileage were unknown.

I am not on the recall list however I called honda as the SRS light remains on. After speaking to 4 representatives at honda they informed me that the previous owner responded to a recall in 2006 service bulletin recall 06-009 - code opds which is for faulty airbags and seatbelts. The previous owner had repair done according to honda 3/31/2010 - 10 year warranty. I bought this car at 89000 odometer on 10/11/2012. Approx. 6 months ago the SRS light came on. I contacted honda with no assistance as they said there is a 10 year warranty on this recall. Yesterday I started by getting assistance from emily, briana, nicole and alexis at honda - case no. N012015-05-2002159 and to expect a call from honda. Yesterday afternoon james (no id or last name) regional case manager. He informed me that he could not assist me. 1. I am not the original owner. 2. I am not a loyal honda owner as I have not bought another honda. 3. No repairs through honda. 4. The car is over 10 years old. I informed him to check another recall which supercedes the previous recall and dated 3/14/2006. He informed me to have the repair done at my expense at honda and the case is closed. I told him that this was a fault with honda and it is not 10 years since the recall and I fear driving my only car with an enormous problem in case of an accident - seat belts and airbags and an enormous danger to me and my grandchildren. He informed me that this was not his or honda's responsibility. Please help me. I need honda to take responsibility.

I have had trouble with my honda's seat belt staying locked in. I've also have the SRS light on after a battery change. I figured out how to reset it but it comes right back on. I have taken the car into honda and they tell me my car is "not affected" by any recalls...I explained the seat belts are supposed to be covered under a lifetime warranty. They wanted 125.00 diagnostic fee to determine if it was the seat belt and what the code is if it isn't the seat belt I have to pay the diagnostic fee and 800.00.to get the airbags to work for something that is supposed to be covered under a lifetime warranty,.I even tried going back to a different service adviser. Reading online I see that many people have the SRS failure and some suspect the cause relates to battery and alternator voltage! Appears to be a convenient failure to state whatever they want and get the owner to pay! Recently, honda has had to recall airbags. Maybe it's a blessing that people's airbags have been rendered useless since they blow up and have killed people!! I hope the federal safety agency realizes how many peoples airbags haven't even been working! Well surprise, my car isn't covered under the latest airbag replacement. I am most dissatisfied with honda they are not standing behind their products and don't seem to care if they lose customers (by death or otherwise). I tried calling there 800 number several times to no avail they were rude and condescending. This was my 3rd honda and my last. The recall even states there is not to be a charge to check this however, they will not without me paying there fee! Don't care the federal safety agency and honda's own recall notice is irrelevant to them. In light of the latest issues with airbags I think I will write an editorial for the local news or maybe call the local television station to highlight this issue ongoing blatant disregard for their customers.
