2002 Honda Accord seat belts complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 39 of 39, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I slowed down at a traffic light and my car was rear ended by another car who failed to apply the brakes and/or may have hit the gas pedal instead of the brakes. The car has been deemed a total loss as the car chassis seems to be crumpled. What I find very surprising is that neither the seat belts tighten nor the air bags were deployed despite being hit so hard. I was wondering what may have been the reason and what needs to be done so that it doesn't happen with anyone else.
Car was headed west in the left lane of a four lane highway. A big SUV headed in the opposite direction was turning to the left. He didn't have time to go and stopped right in my lane. My car hit hers on the passenger side. When we crashed, both of my air bags exploded. I thought my car was on fire because smoke was coming from the bags. My right arm and hand swelled up so big and is still painful. I think there must be medal embedded in my arm. Blood was gushing from my arm and right knee. The inch gash in my right knee was on top of my total knee replacement. This had to be stitched up. I had contusions on my chest, arm and left knee. My ribs and sternum were bruised badly. My right ankle was fractured. My car was totaled. I was taken by ambulance to emergency and stayed until june 26, 2014. I was ordered to put no weight on my right leg and was transported by ambulance to a medical rehabilitation center. Before my release from there, I developed pneumonia and could not leave until july 14, 2014. I still have to have surgery on my left knee for torn meniscus. That surgery is scheduled for september 9, 2014. My back was fractured also; however, I have not scheduled that surgery as of yet.......updated 09-03-14 *bf updated 11/26/2014
Srs warning light came on while parked. Took vehicle to dealership, where diagnostic service showed the driver's side seat belt detection mechanism was failing to function properly. This safety system is connected to the airbags, but is not covered under warranty (per american honda and local dealer). This malfunction is a known problem, but honda will not repair/replace without charging customer, thereby putting lives and safety at risk in the name of profit.
My uncle was traveling on a state highway when his 02 honda hydroplaned on a rainy afternoon and hit head on with another vehicle. My three month old daughter sustained severe head trauma and died at the hospital a little later. Eleven days later my uncle died from severe bleeding and brain damage. Honda said nothing was wrong with this car. My daughter who was 2 at the time was a passenger along with two other cousins, they all came out fine. Now 6 years later we received a recall notice about the airbags and I'm concerned that this vehicle was not safe enough and could have been the main result in my daughters death.

I took my car for a the federal safety agency recall 11v‑260 (driver's airbag inflator) to; hugh white honda 1360 auto mall dr columbus , oh 43228-3662 (614)922-1111 on july 16, they fixed the issue, however now I have an SRS light on the dashboard that won't go away. I was told that it is related to the seat belt issue. If that is the case, then the seatbelts should have been part of recall as well. If it does not work then what is the point of having the recall. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Srs light stays on. Seat belts were replaced and warning light reset,but came on after a couple of miles. Now there is a recall on the air bag inflators, but the seat belt control module, which activates the inflators is defective, and not covered under any update or recall program. I understand that the air bags will not deploy in a crash if the SRS light is on. This is a fairly common problem and in my opinion should be covered under a federally mandated safety recall with no charge to the consumer.

My 8 years old grandson became entangled in the seat trying to get out of the car. The seat belt locked and he was unable to move. He managed to squirm out but his foot got caught in the belt. The belt twisted and I was unable to loosen it working on it for 15 to 20 minutes. The belt became tighter each time I tried to release it. His foot became red as there was not any circulation to his right foot. I ended up returning home and cutting the seat belt in order to release him. The seat belt is on the passenger side in the back. I have not fixed the belt and feel like honda should replace the belt free of charge. I have notified honda. Hopefully they will replace the seat belt free of charge.
2002 honda accord v6 coupe -- SRS system light on the dash is on. This indicates that SRS system, including safety devices (seat belts and airbags) may not be working correctly. The problem was at first intermittent. I read that there was recall in regards to the seat belts and that was causing the problem. I took the car in to the honda dealer for servicing. He did not acknowledge the safety recall and said they would troubleshoot it and I have to pay for it. The light is solid on for past couple of years.
Tl* the contact owns a 2002 honda accord. While driving at speeds of 5 MPH and abruptly depressing the brake pedal, the seat belt failed to engage and lock the contact into position. The SRS air bag warning light also illuminated on the instrument panel. The dealer replaced the seatbelts at the owners expense. They were unable to determine the failure in the air bags and advised that they would have to manually deploy the air bags in order to determine if they were fully operational. Although there was a recall for the air bags for his year, make and model, his VIN was not included with the recall campaign (the federal safety agency campaign id number: 10v041000: air bags). There were no repairs made to the air bags. The VIN was not available at the time of the complaint. The failure mileage was 75,000 and current was 90,000. Updated 06/25/10. *lj updated 06/29/10.
My 2002 honda accord v6 coupe has a problem with the safety restraint system. I brought it to dealer, and I was told that it was a seat belt buckle switch failure, and it would cost $200+ to fix, even though the owners manual states that all seat belt problems have a lifetime warranty. I refused to pay to have it fixed, and they sent me away, informing me that the SRS system is shut down. This is a big safety concern for me, and I feel they should fix the problem. I have read online that there are many people with the same problem I have on their accords. I would appreciate any help you could give me. Thank you

Srs light came on and stayed on during a 500 mile trip after stopping and turning the engine back on. This meant the safety restraint systems such as seat belt tensioners and airbags would not function until SRS problem is corrected. Required a service call to dealer to order new SRS unit and replace. Not covered under any warranty. Replacement will be done dec 1 so not sure if this will correct the problem. So must continue to drive car without safety restraint system functioning.

My four year old son became trapped in the rear middle seat belt. It would not release and the more I tried to release it the tighter the belt became. Myself and several other adults tried having him change positions. I finally was abe to release the belt, however he was twisted in the belt and it locked and wouldn't give and became progressively tighter. I finally had to cut the seatbelt off because he was in pain , crying and having difficulty breathing. He has seat belt marks across his abdomen and trace blood in his urine maybe from this incident according to the pediatrician.
