2004 Honda CR-V seat belts complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I own a 2004 honda crv and have had problems with the seat belts for over 20,000 miles. Both front seat belts lock when they should not and will not retract until they have been unfastened and pulled all the way out and re-inserted into the buckle. At which point it happens again, and again. I have brought the car to the dealership at least 4 times with the same complaint and all they do is lubricate the belts and say they "cannot re-produce the problem." I also called american honda company to file a complaint, and they will not do anything if the dealership can't re-produce the problem. Which is bull, as I brought the service writer out and showed him exactly what happens. Now the SRS light is on the dash indicating there is a problem with either the seat belt tensioners and/or air bags. I am hoping when I bring it in again this week they will actually replace the seat belts. Not only is there supposed to be a lifetime warranty on the seat belts, but it is a very obvious safety issue that neither american honda or the dealership is willing to address unless there is not a proven problem with the tensioners, the dealer gets stuck paying the labor to fix the problem. How many people have to get hurt before the SRS light is lit, indicating seat belt tensioner failure, before the problem is addressed? (it took over 20k miles before my SRS light came on to indicate the problem I knew existed).
Srs light illuminated on 2004 crv. The switch in the left front seat buckle was found to have failed. The airbag system is inoperative due to failed switch. Buckle must be replaced. Warranty reads "a seatbelt that fails to function properly is covered for the useful life of the vehicle". Honda will not accept warranty claim, since it is an SRS system failure.
I drive a 2004 honda cr-v which appears to have automatic locking retractors on the seat belts. I have two young children and the biggest, now 4 1/2, has just moved into a booster seat. Because the seat belts retract automatically, getting tighter and tighter with every movement, my child already got terrified when she was pinned back in her seat by the seat belt, with her chest smashed into her booster seat. While driving, there was nothing I could do to assist her. Also, although I purchased an excellent car seat, the automatic retraction of the seatbelt means that each time I need to get my child in and out of the seat, I must first unthread and then rethread the seatbelt through the seat's guides, creating ample opportunity to do so incorrectly. Finally, and most importantly, b/c of the automatic retraction of the seatbelt, I am quite concerned about the risk of strangulation, such as what happened to a local child, deandre harris (see washington post story on december 17, 2008). Deandre, whose mother drove a honda cr-v, died shortly after his accident, in which he could not free himself from the tightened honda cr-v seatbelt. Please let me know if honda currently offers replacement of its automatic locking retractors with emergency locking retractors or switchable retractors to ensure that children riding in hondas do not risk strangulation. Also, please advise me what your office is doing to investigate and address this, apparently, extremely serious problem. Thank you.
Seat belts unlatched during rollover accident, air bags did not deploy. Air bag was not unwired from battery before passenger front door removal and still did not deploy.
Consumer applied the brakes for a sudden stop vehicle stopped, but the passenger's side rear seat belt broke in half. No injuries. This incident happened today. Consumer will contact the dealer the next day. *ak......as consumer was driving, a dog crossed in front of vehicle's path, consume rhad to brake suddenly, not coming to a complete stop. Consumer brakes, and son in car seat came forward. Driver's side rear seat belt broke in half on the shoulder strap. Cpntacted the dealer, and had the sea tbelt repaired.
I own a 2004 honda cr-v and I am in need of a seat belt extender for a passenger with a disability. I've been informed by my local dealership that honda does not make an extender for the cr-v as "it's against the law". My passenger cannot secure the seat belt without an extender and this therefore could be/is a major life or death safety issue. Other manufacturers provide them (chrysler, ford, gm). Is honda correct or in violation of any federal requirement to provide one free of cost as other vehicle manufacturers do? Thank you.
