2024 Honda Pilot seat belts problems

Filed Nov 8, 2026 · Seat belts · VA

The second-row right (passenger-side) seat belt reminder falsely reports the belt as unfastened. Whenever someone sits in that seat and fastens the belt, the seat belt warning chime sounds and the reminder shows that seat as unfastened, as if the belt were not buckled. The belt latches and holds normally, so the fault appears to be in the buckle's latch sensor. The vehicle has approximately 37,700 miles. Safety risk: Because the system shows that seat as unbuckled even when it is buckled, the driver cannot tell whether a passenger in that seat has actually unbuckled while the vehicle is moving. The constant false chime is also a distraction and trains the driver to ignore seat belt warnings, which defeats the purpose of the system. This matches Honda Service Bulletin A26-027 for 2023-2025 Pilots (second-row right seat belt reminder incorrectly indicates unfastened after the passenger has fastened it) and the condition under the federal safety agency investigation PE25017 (inaccurate rear passenger seat belt warning status, 2023-2024 Pilot). The vehicle has not yet been inspected by a dealer as of this report. The buckle is available for inspection on request. I request that this complaint be associated with PE25017 and that the federal safety agency pursue a recall so the buckle is replaced at no cost to owners, regardless of mileage.

The second-row seat belt sensor chimes persistently whenever the seat is occupied although the seat belt is buckled properly. Currently the only seat belt affected is the one directly behind the front passenger seat.

The second row passenger side seat belt warning sensor repeatedly pings even when the seat belt is connected anytime the passenger shifts in his or her position. It's as if the seat belt is not connected but it is. Not only is this annoying but it also means the driver is uncertain as to whether the seat belt is plugged in properly and has to manually check each time. Safety is therefore a concern. This happens whenever the vehicle is in operation and someone is using the second row passenger side seat belt. No other seats are affected. There has been no inspection of the problem but I plan to take the vehicle to a Honda dealer. My research online suggests this is an problem consistent with the federal safety agency investigation PE25017

Seatbelt warning system INCORRECTLY indicates with persistant and distracting chime and lights, that middle row right seatbelt is unbuckled, when it is in fact buckled. This has happened over 25 times over a 6 week period. It becomes a significant distraction to the driver, and forces the driver to ignore the seatbelt warnings all together, because while it is happening, it happens every 2-3 seconds continuously. Child passengers could very well be unbuckled ( Dangerous) and the driver wouldnt know it, due to the defective system. It is also extremely difficult to concentrate on safely driving while the chime is continuously going off. I urge the federal safety agency to instruct HONDA to issue a safety recall and fix this dangerous issue.

The back seat seat belt warning malfunctions when someone is sitting in the back seat, causing the alarm to sound as if the passenger is not buckled in. The red seat belt notification also indicates that someone in that seat is unbuckled, which is incorrect. The seat belt is fastened the entire time. The notification alerts mid- trip while driving. This is extremely dangerous as a driver I thought our child unbuckled her seat belt while driving. This problem has been occurring for over 2 months. The problem has been inspected by a Honda dealership and diagnosed-Honda Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) A26-027 for certain 2023-2025 Honda Pilot vehicles. The bulletin addresses a condition where the vehicle incorrectly indicates that the second-row right passenger seat belt is unfastened, even when it is buckled.

The right rear seatbelt keep’s going into alarm over and over like someone is unplugging it and plugging back in. The alarm is persistent no matter who sits in the seat. It flashes on the dashboard and the audible alarm sounds most if not the whole car ride every day.
