| The automatic seat belt on my 1991 honda civic fails to close on the driver's side. it is stuck in the open position interfering with driving and not providing any shoulder restraint. the component that rides along the front door track where the seat belt opens and closes will not manually move along the track. it appears, this is the way the seat belt is constructed, it causes tension or pulls on the component that slides along the door. that may cause an obstacle to my seat belt closing. i previously had a faulty door latch on the driver's side, which i had replaced with a new door latch, at my own expense. the door latch failure was making the seat belt open and close while driving on the freeway. the opening and closing of the seat belt also damaged the sun visor. i don't feel safe driving this car with such a flaky seat belt and would like honda to repair this defect according to the terms of the warranty. *jb | |||

| On two separate occasions the hood latch failed causing the hood to fly open on the freeway and slam into the windshield. on both occasions the windshiled was broken. on the second occasion the impact was so great it completley shattered the windshield and knocking the rear view mirror off the body of the vehichle. on both occasions i had two passengers with me. i have since then seen about 20 or more 1991 honda civics with replaced hoods and little or no damage to the body of the vehichle, thus leading me to beleive that this has happened to many other 1991 honda civic owners. | |||
