Defect SummaryThe front safety belt buckle release buttons can break. these red plastic release buttons are marked press. if a button breaks, pieces can fall into the buckle assembly causing the buckle to operate improperly.
Consequence SummaryThe safety belts would not provide adequate protection to an occupant in a vehicle crash.
Corrective SummaryOwners should promptly check the condition and operation of both front safety belt buckles. carefully inspect the red release button for any breaks or cracks. check that both buckles are operating properly by inserting each latch plate into its buckle, tug on the belt to make sure the latch is securely locked, then press the release button. the latch plate should pop out of the buckle when the button is pressed. if either release button shows any sign of breakage or cracking, or if either buckle fails to operate properly, promptly contact your authorized honda/acura dealer to schedule an appointment to have the buckle replaced or repaired, free of charge. the manufacturer is developing a remedy designed to prevent the failure of the buttons that are not currently broken.

 The engine continues to over heat despite the fact that we have replaced the radiator, radiator hose, and back up for the radiator. also the seat belt will not come undone once someone has locked themself in. we have to take a screw driver to get the lock out. the car has a hard time shifting gears and when it does it slams into gear or will not go into gear.

 I am the 2nd owner of this vehicle for 4 years. i got this problem a couple months a go. when driving the beeping of the front door and seatbelt goes off all the time. the honda world dealer claimed that the recalled seatbelt has been fixed. they blamed this is the door problem. it costs too much to fix and now i'm scared to drive my car since i don't know the door or the seatbelt will fall off. the beeping goes off every minute and driving me crazy. *ak
