2012 HONDA ACCORD Seat Belts Problems

The Driver's side seat belt does not latch. The problem started 3 months ago. We contacted Honda Dealer and was told it is not part of the Honda Seat Belt Recall as the recall relates to Honda models 2018-2020. However please note it is the SAME EXACT PROBLEM with the seat belt in my car. I have been using the PASSENGER SIDE LATCH to buckle the seatbelt. I contacted Honda Corporation and was told to have the car inspected by local Honda Dealer and provide them with a Inspection report. Honda corporation is not willing to fix the seatbelt issue. I am informing your agency so you can take appropriate action and include the older models of Honda with the same seat belt problem as the current recall on Honda before someone get injured due to the fact they are using passenger seat belt latch. Also we are unable to...

THE DRIVER SIDE SEATBELT OF MY 2012 HONDA ACCORD HAS JAMMED INSIDE THE BELT HOUSING ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE MOST RECENT EVENT LASTED OVER AN HOUR AND AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO FREE THE BELT FROM THE HOUSING, I WAS FORCED TO DRIVE WITHOUT A SEATBELT ON, WHICH WAS TERRIFYING AND AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD. THE BELT EVENTUALLY RELEASED FROM ITS HOUSING AND IS WORKING PROPERLY AGAIN, UNTIL THE NEXT INCIDENT, I SUPPOSE.

I WAS IN A CRASH YESTERDAY 04/18/17 AT AROUND 4:55-5:00PM DUE TO MY BRAKES NOT REACTING AS THEY SHOULD AND STOPPING MY CAR. I REAR ENDED A CAR BECAUSE OF THIS AND MY FRONT OF MY CAR IS COMPLETELY TOTALED. I HAVE FILED A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE, BUT THIS WAS A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, AND NOTICED THAT MY SEATBELT HAD UNFASTENED AFTER THE INCIDENT. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, AND WAS IN TRAFFIC ON THE 405 SOUTHBOUND GETTING CLOSE TO THE 22 FWY EXIT BY SEAL BEACH. IF I WAS GOING FASTER THAN CRUISING SPEED, WHO KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE OUTCOME, SEEING THAT THESE 3 RED FLAGS OCCURRED.

CHILD'S ARM BECAME ENTRAPPED BY TANGLEMENT IN THE UNBUCKLED SEATBELT NEXT TO THE SEAT WHERE HE WAS SITTING. THE SEATBELT LOCKED AND WOULD NOT RELEASE THE CHILD'S ARM. THE CHILD'S ARM WAS LOSING CIRCULATION AND THE BELT HAD TO BE CUT. THE CHILD SUFFERED BRUISING AND SPRAINED WRIST. HONDA IS REFUSING TO REPLACE THE SEATBELT BECAUSE IT THE WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER AND "MODIFICATIONS" TO THE SEAT BELT. I WAS TOLD THAT WE SHOULD HAVE DROVE TO A DEALER FOR ASSISTANCE. I'M NOT SURE HOW THAT WOULD BE POSSIBLE DURING AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. *TR

WE WERE TRAVELING IN MY 2012 HONDA ACCORD AND STOPPED FOR FUEL AT A GAS STATION IN SOUTHERN ILLINOIS. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, REMOVED THE KEYS AND EXITED THE VEHICLE TO START FUELING IT. MY 6 YEAR OLD GRANDSON ASKED PERMISSION TO EXIT THE VEHICLE TO USE THE RESTROOM. HE UNBUCKLED THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT THAT I HAD FASTENED HIM INTO HIS BOOSTER SEAT WITH A FEW HOURS EARLIER. BUT SOMEHOW THE SEAT BELT HAD GOTTEN TWISTED AROUND HIS WAIST WHILE IN HIS BOOSTER SEAT AND HE COULD NOT GET OUT. THE SEAT BELT APPEARED TO BE LOCKED SOMEHOW AT THE TOP OF THE SHOULDER AREA AND WE COULD NOT PULL IT OUT AT ALL. IN FACT, IT JUST KEPT RETRACTING FURTHER AND GETTING TIGHTER AND TIGHTER AROUND MY GRANDSON'S CHEST AND WAIST. NO MATTER WHAT WE TRIED WE ABSOLUTELY COULD NOT FREE HIM. EVERY MOVE THAT...

STOPPED FOR GAS ENGINE KEEP RUNNING AT HIGH LEVEL OF RPMS WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKES STOPPED THE CAR BY SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL AND TURNING ENGINE OFF THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPEN IN ONE DAY. IN MY OTHER COMPLAIN REGARDING HONDA I SAID APRIL INSTEAD OF MAY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN RAINY WEATHER IN TRAFFIC, MY 2012 HONDA ACCORD COUPE REAR ENDED ANOTHER HONDA ACCORD, I WAS GOING UNDER 20 MPH AND MY HEAD HIT MY STEERING WHEEL DUE TO SEAT BELT FAILURE. *TT
