Consumer Description

STARTED WITH PASS. AIR BAG LIGHT & PASS. SEATBELT BEEPER & LIGHT. HAVE HAD IT REPAIRED 4 TIMES BUT PASS. BEEPER & LIGHT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. SPOKE WITH HONDA AMERICA IN CA REGIONAL MGR MORRIS SAID IT DOESN'T EXIST IN THE 2005 HONDA ELEMENT THE MANUAL IS A MISPRINT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH HONDA DOES NOT WANT TO CORRECT. IT HAD WORKED BEFORE SO MY WIFE & I SPOKE TO PEOPLE WITH 1996 TO 2008 HONDA ELEMENTS AND THEY ALL HAVE A SEATBELT LIGHT & BEEPER FOR THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT. COULD YOU PLEASE HELP WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR FOUR LONG YEARS. I BELIEVE HONDA AMERICA IS TRYING TO DECEIVE US. I EVEN ASKED MORRIS TO PUT IT IN WRITING THAT IT IS A MISPRINT IN THE MANUAL BUT HE SAID HE COULD NOT DO THAT. I ALSO TOLD HIM THAT I HAD SPOKEN TO OTHER 2005 ELEMENT OWNERS WHO STATED THEIR PASSENGER SEATBELTS HAVE A LIGHT & BEEPER BUT STILL INSISTS THAT MY CAR DOES NOT. *TR
