Seat belt won't latch or retract by model year
What owners say
Srs light comes on and stays on. Faulty seat belt buckle switch.
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.
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.
