The "airbag is turned off" warning light for the front passenger seat is lit (on) while an adult is sitting in the front passenger with the seat belt latched. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE.. I have reported this to the Acura dealer where I purchased the vehicle and they said since they are unable to repeat the issue they can't do anything about it. In addition, when this issue is occurring the warning light on the dash and the audible bell regarding the seat belt being unlatched while the vehicle is in motion does not come on.

The buckle stopped latching on the driver-??S side seatbelt in September 2023. It would not -??catch.-?? I was not able to use the seatbelt as it would not latch. I took it to my Acura dealer who replaced the defective buckle. I was at risk as I was driving without a seatbelt until my appointment. There were no warnings. Today I discovered that there is an active recall 23V158000 describing this same issue for both driver-??S side and passenger side seatbelt buckles. My car, identified by its VIN, is not listed for the recall.however, the buckle issue as described in the recall is identical. I believe my passenger side buckle should also be replaced and I should be reimbursed for the cost of my repair to the driver-??S side buckle. My VIN should be included in the safety recall. I have called the dealer who verified that my VIN was not included, although my problem was identical to the recall description. 2023-03-2023 23V158000

Rear seatbelts are not safe for children. There is a large gap between the seatbelt and the child (5 year old and 9 year old). For the 9 year old the seatbelt crosses his face. It is anchored too high and too far forward from the seat, . the seatbelt cannot be adjusted and the seatback cannot be adjusted. The Acura manual shows a picture of a gap and stated this is not safe (in an example when you have adjustable seats - to not adjust where it creates a big gap). When I discovered this after purchasing the car, the dealer would not let me leave until I put my 5 year old in a booster "with seatback" to hold the seatbelt in place due to the issue. Acura offered to give me money to buy 3 boosters with seatback to keep in the car in case I traveled with kids. They said it was a manufactured that way and they could not fix anything. The seatbelt adapters they want me to purchase are not for comfort but to safely be able to Transport kids in my car.
