problem #2

For no reason, the passenger side front seatbelt locks up. Once locked up, it does not retract, passenger must unbuckle seat belt and retract it completely and then re-buckle. This has even happened multiple times when the car was at a single stand still. Dealer says this is a common complaint, and Acura knows of it, but doesn't have a fix for it. Having to unbuckle the seatbelt while the car is on the road is very dangerous - please help with this.
