2005 honda pilot, when I first start the car the in the morning the red indicator light for the seatbelt and airbag (drivers side airbag) on the dashboard comes on and stays on the entire day this includes stopping and turning off the engine, going into a store and coming back out, starting the engine again, continue driving for each day until I return back home. But at least two (2) days a month when I first start the car in the morning this same red indicator light on the dashboard stays off the entire day while driving the car. This includes stopping and turning off the engine, going into a store and coming back out and starting the engine again and continue driving for each day until I get back home. Each time the red indicator light is stays on or off for the day I drive my car I use city streets 25 mpr. And driving on the turnpike at 75 MPH. This started in 2018.

Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Wife while turning on inside of lot bumped pole at kroger parking lot. Both front air bags deployed exploding shrapnel hit my wife cutting into her arms. Honda was said they replace all air bags and accessories. They sent one part. Dealer would not repair because they didn't everything it needed. *bf
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda pilot. The contact stated that while driving at 35 MPH, the passenger in the middle section was stuck with the seat belt around his neck. The contact merged to the shoulder of the road, attempted to release the passenger but the seat belt seized, and the seat belt buckle was stuck. The passenger sustained injuries that required medical attention. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The VIN was unavailable. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 200,000.
Srs warning light will not go out. Cannot afford diagnostics test or new sensors. Should be recalled for safety. Many other honda pilot owners have same problem. Thanks
Srs light is on from researching it, this could be seat belt restraints, or many airbags.
A 91 year old passenger could not release the buckle because of placement or necessary strength.the buckle should be near the middle of the waist or chest foe quick release in case of accident or other impairment due to health or if someone is trying to release it for someone. It made me think of the number of our paratroopers that drowned in europe because the release was poorly conceived. The british had a one buckle release right on their chest that saved many lives.
My 8 year old grandson was sitting in the seat right behind the passenger front seat. He complained that the seatbelt kept getting tighter and tighter. He released the seatbelt and it retracted all the way back where it has been ever since. It no longer pulls forward more than 2 inches. This is a safety issue in that the seatbelt is no longer functional. Plus, I was very worried for my grandson because it was getting so tight on him. Any small child could become trapped. I was just relieved that he was still able to reach the latch and buckle and safely release it.
The airbag/seatbelt light came on while pulling out of a parking space. The vehicle has never been in any accidents. Many honda pilot owners are having the same problem. Honda says they are not responsible if the airbag does not deploy in an accident. This a known issue honda should do a recall.
We bought a second hand 2005 honda pilot one year ago. The issue is that the front passenger side seatbelt has been worn thin (to the point where it will almost certainly fail in a crash) by what appears to be a poorly made bucikle. Where the seat belt strap runs through the buckle there appears to be a rough edge that has slowly worn through the fabric of the belt itself. The two honda garages we contacted refused to repair the vehicle under warranty, so we have paid a local garage to fit a new belt. There has been no incident with respect to this, but we are reporting this in case others have had the same issue.
Seat belt front passenger unsnaps unexpected while car is in motion. The car warranty covered replacement; dealer replaced seat belt. This is a potential loss of life safety hazard.
