 The middle row seat belt on the drives side has broken/malfunctioned two times in under two months!! it has been taken to the dealership both times for repair. my 51/2 year old daughter has been in the seat both times when it has happened. the seat belt loses tension (feeds all the way out onto her lap) and then locks. we are unable to fix it on our own. each time we take it to the dealer and they have to replace the entire seat belt. *nm

 Seat belt is very difficult to use, per consumer. if belt is not pulled all the way out, it will lock up even when not in motion.*ak belt could lock around seat prior to connecting with the buckle requiring seat disassembly to be removed. in addition, individuals with 30 inches or longer backs receive inadequate protection from head rest at tallest position. *ph
SEAT BELTS - FRONT - RETRACTOR

 Seat belt emergency retraction mode engaged when seat belt was not locked in. the seat belt retracted and almost strangulated a little boy. it had to be cut to release him or he may have died. we cannot find any information that provided any other recourse but to cut the seat belt. we do not believe the seat belt should have retracted in this manner when not buckled. we are not sure whether honda would charge anything to repair this. the little boy however is still very upset.*ak
