SECOND SEATBELT FAILURE. I previously reported second row passenger seatbelt that was found completely detached from anchor, at point where belt was looped and sewn. This was replaced by dealer. The second row middle belt locked in extended position at that time, and I requested dealer check this and repair or replace as needed. This was supposedly also done. The row 2 middle belt is rarely used, using first time since repair was reportedly done, found webbing that is frayed 50%+ through, in portion that is retracted when not being used. I checked all belts when I found this, and found fraying at the 3rd row middle seatbelt (buckle portion webbing), with associated damage to the plastic where the third row seat folds down. It appears the belt webbing has been rubbing on this plastic part of seat back, causing damage. This belt is also rarely used: not at all in last 13 months, and around 5-6 times, every 6-10 weeks in non-pandemic times. The third row is normally kept folded down, with the middle row belt retracted into ceiling when not in use. I am left wondering if the geometry of the belt placement is causing mechanical/friction damage, if there are sharp edges in the 2nd row middle belt storage (overhead), or if there was chemical damage to some belts in the factory. It is odd and concerning to find multiple issues with the belts, and I want all to be replaced, and their housing inspected for possible points causing the damage.
My fianc was driving to my doctor to follow up surgery, two blocks from 2 blocks from the house we approached to traffic light was on red and she was applying the brakes when we were just about at light suddenly the car accelerated girlfriend had her foot on the brake but the car kept going we strike a car and hit a parked car bad accident, 3 people got hurt.every time I watch the video I am more convinced that something when wrong with car systems this happens on kennedy boulevard and audobon St on 12/11/2020 around 11:05 am sunny clear day. I have a video.
I found the seatbelt end that should attach the belt to the anchor on my passenger side second row detached today. The belt webbing is frayed through both the webbing and also the sewn portion that makes the loop attaching the belt to the floor/anchor. The anchor is below a panel, so I can't see if there was a sharp edge there that rubbed/cut the area, or it just unraveled through an area that was not properly sewn. The vehicle was stationary, and my daughter reached for the belt to buckle (she uses booster), noticing the detachment before we drove.
The driver's side seat belt is considerably shorter than the front passenger seat belt. The driver's seat belt is so constricting that you can't turn to look when changing lanes. So the need to drive without using the seat belt is an issue of safety. I am an average size person and this has never been a problem in any other vehicle I have owned.
When using the drivers side seat belt, there is no extra give in the belt. The belt is very tight and the driver can not even turn to check their blind spot. This is very dangerous. I have had this vehicle since September 2018. I have tried adjusting the seat further away from the wheel, however, the belt seems too short.

Driver's front seat belt is drastically shorter than passenger front seat belt. I am restricted in ability to look around and make sure there is no other vehicle in my blind spot. There is no fix for this per the dealer as Honda does not acknowledge an error. This is a serious safety issue and needs to be addressed by the manufacturer.
The driver side seatbelt on my 2018 Honda Pilot is not the standard size and is short. It does not extend like the passenger seatbelt and prevents the driver from leaning forward to check out it is safe to turn. The driver seatbelt does not lock in place when stopping vehicle.
The driver's side seat belt is too short. It is tight across my chest and the left side of my neck. The dealer offers no fix for the other than a seat belt extender which Honda does not sell. I am 5'2' tall and 220 lbs. Yes I am over weight but I've owned 8 other Honda's and have never had this problem before. I am now stuck with a brand new vhicle I don't feel safe driving.
Drivers side seat belt is too short, not as long as passengers seat belt. It prohibits / restricts leaning forward to check oncoming traffic (both looking left and right) at intersections and merging situations. I believe this causes an unsafe driving condition.
The drivers side seat belt is much shorter than the passenger side. Unless you are an extremely small person it is difficult to move or clearly look at your blind spots when driving. The seat belt sits across your neck and breast which would cause major damage in an accident. This is a design flaw. This seat belt was made too short.
