Ever since I have had my car the headlights burn out within 3-4 months. Change one, the other goes out. Averaging 2000.00 over the lifetime of owning my car. The front drivers seat's bolt broke...the service manager said it was bc of weight...I weigh 135# I had to pay to have my seat fixed. Not my fault!! My seat belt will not buckle until the 4-5 try..it keeps on bouncing out of the clicker.

Purchased the car in 2002. Starting in 2005, the seat belt wouldn't engage into the buckle. Had to force and force the buckle in for the buckle to lock in the insert. Recently, the SRS light came on. Honda tells me that the seat belt must be replaced because the air bags may not deploy upon impact but there is no warranty. An independent mechanic tells me that the seat belt may in fact be warranted, but honda made no mention of that.

I have a 2002 honda cr-v. I always have 2 car seats in the rear of it. Just yesterday, the seat belt buckle, the part that attaches to the floor, broke during a hard stop, sending one child into the rear of the drivers seat. The internal parts of the seat belt buckle is what came undone or broke. The child turned out to be fine, but just scared. This car is only 7.5 years old, and I don't believe this should be happening. I still remember the old days and cars whereas the buckles were made of metal. Every buckle in this car is plastic! I'm a pretty good size guy and I just don't feel that my drivers side would hold me in if I was ever in a front end collision. What if that child had his window down? He could have been ejected out of it. A front end collision could've meant a broken neck or something? I haven't had a chance to see our honda dealer about this yet, but I feel it is something that needs to be addressed. Thank you for taking the time to check on this problem.
