The driver seatbelt, the portion that accepts the buckle when you "buckle up" has become sloppy over time with excessive free play. This part is free to wobble around. I feel this is a passenger safety risk. The restraint and crash systems in a car work together, and with excessive ship and play in the restraint system, it could experience unexpected forces leading to an interesting or improperly restrained driver. I have spoken to two dealership service departments and neither of them actually inspected the seatbelt, I was only told it would not be replaced under warranty. I told them it is a safety issue, but they do not budge. The seatbelt was inspected by my mechanic who said the part would need replaced, saying there is excessive slop and play in the restraint system. No warning lamps or codes, airbags have never deployed, clean title. Going back to Honda dealer tomorrow to have them actually inspect the restaurant system and put in writing that they aren't willing to replace or repair it, when I went yesterday, neither of the two dealership service departments even visually inspected my seatbelt.

The seatbelts did not lock when I had my head on collision causing me to be injured. I was driving 25 mph when I hit black ice and spun out of control and hit an ice snow bank head on.

My wife and daughter were in an accident 10/24/15. The front of the Honda Civic struck the back of another car. The air bags did not deploy, the seat belt shield them in but no longer function. I took the car into Honda dealership in lake worth, fl, a diagnostic was performed and the computer system was deemed to be not working. The force of the impact was strong enough that the driver and front seat passenger seat belts need to replaced. I purchased the car from this dealership in March 15' after seeing a carfax report saying that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle...updated 11/04/15 updated 1/4/2015

Autistic child removed seatbelt to exit car, child somehow became tangled in seatbelt. Belt started retracting. Could not remove child from belt after several attempts. Seat belt would not release and continued to dig itself farther into child's torso. Local fire department had to be called to cut child out of the seatbelt.
