Consumer Description

SEATBELT DESIGN DEFECTIVE ON ODYSSEY MINIVANS. IN THE CENTER ROW OF SEATS, WITH A BENCH SEAT CONFIGURATION, THE SEATBELT DOES NOT PROTECT THE SEAT OCCUPANT FROM THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH FROM A SIDE OR CORNER IMPACT COLLISION. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY HAVE INDICATED THAT THIS IS THE DESIGN OF THE SEATBELT AND THAT THE FLIP DOWN ARMRREST IS WHAT WOULD PROTECT THE BELTED OCCUPANT FROM HARM, WHICH IS NONSENSE. THE FORD WINDSTAR HAS THE PROPER RESTRAINT - THERE IS A SECONDARY LATCH USED TO PROPERLY RESTRAIN THE SEAT OCCUPANT IN THE SEAT. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS DEFECT INSOFAR AS PEOPLE MAY ALSO PLACE BABY SEATS IN THIS SEAT AND ASSUME THE SEATBELT WILL PROTECT THE CHILD. IT WON'T - THE CHILD SEAT WOULD SLIP OUT FROM UNDER THE BELT. PLEASE ADVISE ON WHAT STEPS HAPPEN NEXT.*AK
