-Two back seat belts have malfunctioned. The back driver side seat buckle has unattached from the car. The middle back seat belt came unattached from the car. It is available for inspection but have an appointment to get fixed tomorrow. -Mine and my family's safety was put at an INCREASED risk for danger. Two seat belts have malfunctioned in the back seat just from normal wear. My infant daughter rides in the back seat and I trust that the seat belts would function correctly for normal use! -I am not sure. I have an appointment with Honda dealership tomorrow. -It has not currently been inspected. -No symptoms prior and no reasonable explanation for this to happen.

Front wheel passenger side seat belt is got locked and got stuck beside the seat due to design flaws with seat. It's now no more in use until the issue has been address. We have tried to contact local Honda dealers but they are entertain our complaints. This issue is bothering us to travel together with family due to safety measure failure. We are helpless and didn't have any clue how to take it up this request with Honda directly.

At approximately 35 to 40 mph when applying the brakes lately due to traffic slowing down in front I had absolutely no brake pedal at all. The pedal went immediately down to the floor and the vehicle had failed to slow or stop. To avoid accident I veered to the dirt shoulder and begin to spin out of control ending up back on the road and crashing into another vehicle. The seatbelts had failed to lock as if the brake pedal was never depressed and it appeared that as soon as the tires hit the dirt shoulder the vehicle gain speed. In addition airbags were never deflated.

Takata recall: 1/26/19 had a mva where Ford Fusion pulled out in front of me. I tboned him around 20-30mph, my air bags did not deploy and seat belts locked all the way out. I hit steering wheel and wound up with sternal fracture which is now a nonunion fracture. I had taken car into Honda dealer to have recall fixed which they said they did ( I have receipts) but they obviously didn't. Honda recall 16-048

I was involved in a crash Friday, 12/2 and neither my airbag or seat belt did what they were supposed to do. I accidentally rear-ended someone on the highway in moderate traffic going approximately 20-25 mph, and my airbag did not deploy, and my seat belt did not lock, which led to me hitting my head on the steering wheel.

Driver's seatbelt does not retract correctly when I take it off. Hangs extremely loose into door well and has to be slowly and manually retracted into upper retraction unit. I am not very comfortable or sure it is operating correctly in the case of an accident. Dealer (kuhn Honda in tampa, fl) says there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. But if there was nothing wrong with it, why does it not retract and hang so loosely in the doorway? no other car I have ever driven, has had a seatbelt so very loose. I have spoken to american Honda, and they do not want to admit there is anything wrong with the car, and to make things worse, the car is under warranty.
