NHTSA Complaint #10984769 — 2017 HONDA PILOT

THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT IS TO CONFINING AND TIGHT THAT IT HINDERS THE MOVEMENT OF THE DRIVER SLOWING REACTION TIME. IT IS UNSAFE. THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT DOES NOT EXTEND OUT FAR ENOUGH FOR A SHORT HEAVY PERSON TO PULL THE SEAT BELT AROUND AND BUCKLE IT SO IT IS COMFORTABLE. THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT HAS NO ISSUE. A VISUAL INSPECTION COMPARING THE 2 SEAT BELTS SHOWS THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT DOES NOT COME OUT OF THE FLOOR AS FAR AS THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS ISSUE RESULTS IN THE SEAT BELT BEING TO TIGHT AND RESTRICTING THE DRIVERS MOBILITY WHILE DRIVING. THE HONDA DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE CONFIRM THIS IS BY DESIGN AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. HONDA NEEDS TO OFFER A PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT CONFIGURATION AND SPECS FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE.
