The driver's seat belt became stuck in the unused position and we were unable to pull it out to extend it to the locking mechanism. This put the driver at risk in that there was no usable seat belt, and therefore the driver would be unprotected in the event of a crash. The vehicle is currently at the Honda service department, and the technician believes there is something wrong with the ratcheting system, so he has ordered new parts. There were no previous warning systems, however the alert sound did go off that the seat belt was not in use when the car was turned on.

I recently purchased a 2017 honda cr-v with the intent of using it as a 5 passenger vehicle. However, the rear seat belt does not allow to safely buckle 3 children in the back even though it was purchased as a 5 passenger vehicle. There are 3 seat belts provided but they cross over each other in a manner that makes the seat belts twist and does not safely buckle 3 children in at one time.

While driving down 2-lane road with cars parked parallel the cmbs (collision mitigation braking system) activated at approximately 30 MPH and abruptly stopped my vehicle causing the seat belt to lock. Reported incident to dealership and they updated software but were unable to reproduce fault. Several months later the cmbs activated again this time at approximately 45 MPH and only momentarily. No vehicles were in front of me in either instance and thankfully none were behind me. This dangerous unintended activation of the braking system could cause an accident.

The rear center passenger's left seat belt buckle anchor is reversed making it nearly impossible to properly buckle 3 passengers in the back seat. This is a safety hazard as my center passengers, finding it a herculean feat when seated, often decline to buckle up. I've included two photos of this buckle showing this condition. As seen when buckled w/o a passenger, the belts overlap. Because of this the center passenger's body prevents access to the buckle as it is hidden behind the strap of the left rear passenger. I understand that honda designed it this way to provide wider seating for the left rear passenger. However, this design is dangerous and is unacceptable and will eventually lead to fatalities. Also I'm told that the honda accura's design is correct.

Nothing has happened yet, but the rear seatbelts in our crv have a buckle point that appears to be installed backward. When brought to the attention of the dealer they said that's how they are. The middle seating position seatbelt, which has two buckle points , buckles on the outside portion of the fastener system while the left seating position buckles on the inside of the fastener system. In the event of need for rapid exit, the left rear seat fastener is blocked by the middle seat seatbelt.
