The seat belt does not fully retract, it only goes about half way in before slowing down or stopping. It then gets stuck in the door when you close the door. I would expect that this would weaken the belt. This has been a problem from day one. I've already had the car to the dealer to fix this and many other problems, and, even though I had an appointment, they decided that they were too busy to look into any problems. Honda has not acknowledged my "concern" submitted via the web before christmas.
