Copied below is my email to the Piazza Acura dealership. They will not provide a loaner. ________________________ My name is [XXX] and I purchased a new 2017 Acura MDX with AWD and the tech package from your dealership on 27 August 2016. In early April of 2022, the front passenger seat belt of my MDX stopped working. I was asked to come into your dealership to confirm that it was not working, and I did so on 12 April 2022. At that time a new seat belt was ordered, and I was told it would take about a month at most. For your reference, the part number, order reference number, and date of order are included below. ? Part number: 04814-TZ5-A00ZA ? Order reference number: U3990412 ? Date ordered: 12 April 2022 It is now past the one-year anniversary of this safety warranty problem being brought to your dealership-??s attention, and the theoretical delivery date keeps getting pushed out. Just today, I called the Parts Department and was told there is a new shipping date of 04 June 2023. Frankly, I don-??t believe it and feel like I-??m just being strung along. I ask you [XXX], what would you think if you were in my situation? This MDX is my only car, and I have had limited use of it to carry passengers for over a year due to the effective loss of the front passenger seat. Because this is a safety issue, my hands are further tied in that I cannot trade or sell my MDX. It is very strange that this seat belt stopped working, and I have to wonder if it was a design or manufacturing defect. Nevertheless, I have been the only one dealing with the consequences, and I have had to do so for over a year. I am unwilling to continue to do so, and now propose that Piazza Acura treat this like any other extended warranty repair situation and provide me with a comparable late-model MDX loaner free of charge until such time as Piazza Acura and the Honda Corporation can provide me with and install a new, manufacturer-supplied front passenger seat belt.

On Tuesday, November 8, 2022 I had my 20 month year old grandson in a rear facing car seat and he wrapped the middle seat seat belt around is neck and was choking and coughing. I was on my way to pick up my other grandson at school about 4 miles from my home and when I arrived at the school I opened the back door on the driver side where he was sitting and to my surprise and fear he had the seatbelt wrapped around his neck. I tried to remove it seatbelt when he was in the carseat and it was too tight there was no give. I yelled for help and a lady in her car helped me. The only resolution was to cut the middle seat belt. He had to be taken to emergency because he had red marks around his neck.
