 Tl- the contact owns a 2003 honda odyssey. while driving the supplemental restrain system light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer diagnosed located the failure at the seat belt sensor was causing the air bag light to illuminate intermittently. the manufacturer advised they will not assist with the repair, because the vehicle was out of warranty. the vehicle wasn't repaired. the failure mileage was 76,000 and the current mileage was 77,000. li

 Passenger seatbelts lock-up very easily and the only way to release is to undue the belt. this is a major safety concern since the seatbelts should not be undone when the vehicle is moving but that is what must be done to relieve the pressure the belt puts on the passengers.*ak

 Rear seat belts lock for no reason. passengers must unbuckle the seat belt to unlock the mechanism. has happened at least 50 times in an 8 month period since purchase of the new 2003 honda odyssey. my concern is not only inconvenience but the safety issue of having to unbuckle the seat belt during driving. happens mostly on the freeway at steady speeds. honda dealer insists there is no problem, but a service employee had told me we are not the first to have this problem. *ph

 2003 honda odyssey (3 weeks old): when i took off the driver's side seat belt, the cloth belt folded over on itself and got jammed in the plastic retractor. the seat belt could not be pulled out, so it could not be used at all. i had to use a pair of pliers to pry it loose.*jb

 The seat belt failed to properly restrain my child, due to the way it was designed. my daughter was in the second row of the minivan with the right-side captains chair moved over to configure the row into a bench. the seat belt, however was still attached over by the door with no other attachment available, so there is a gap between the seat and where the seat belt is attached. my daughter was properly buckled in, and she is 105 lbs. and almost 5 feet tall. however, when we were hit from the side, she slid right off the seat and onto the floor between the seat and the door with the buckle still around her. in addition, my seat belt (driver's) failed to restrain me. it pulled all the way out. *jb
