THE BACK SEAT BELTS DO NOT LATCH FROM TIME TO TIME. MORE FREQUENTLY LATELY. I TOOK MY CAR TO HONDA TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND THEY SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE MALFUNCTION. BUT WHEN I INSPECTED THE BACK SEAT THE SEAT BELT WAS TUCKED UNDER THE SEAT AND DID NOT LOOK CHECKED. I HAVE 3 CHILDREN AND ONE OF THEM REQUIRES A CAR SEAT. IT CONTINUES TO MALFUNCTION AND THE CHILDREN CANNOT LATCH THE SEAT BELT TO BUCKLE THEMSELVES IN. I AM UNABLE TO TRANSPORT MY FAMILY IN MY CAR SAFETY AND CANNOT DRIVE IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA FIT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT WAS BUCKLED, IT WOULD CONSTANTLY TIGHTEN AROUND THE PASSENGER SEATED IN THAT SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHERE THE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 8,000.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your
pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the
