I own a 1998 Honda Accord and the retractor on the drivers side front seat has frequently failed to re-coil catching on the lever that moves the seat to a reclining position. Due to the fact that I failed to notice that this was happening until to late, it eventually caused the seat motor to "burn" out.the local Honda dealer wanted to charge me just under $800 to replace the motor, obviously that is un -acceptable to me. Do I have any recourse ?

I have a 1998 Honda Accord 4-door. Sometimes the seat belt on the driver's side does not recoil when I remove it. I gets hung up in the switch that moves the seat back. On the date below, I had my son in a forward facing car seat in the middle rear sear. I parked and unclipped my seat belt and opened the trunk. I got out of the car and shut the door but didn't realize that the seat belt was pushing against the seat back switch and lowered the seat back all the way down. It caught my son's foot between his car seat and the seat back. He was not seriously hurt, but this could have been much worse. It only took the time from me to get out of the car and go to the trunk to retrieve his stroller for this to happen.

All rear seat belts ratchet tight if you move just a little bit and pin you to the back seat, choking the passenger. It is very uncomfortable and the belt has to be removed and then rebuckled and my passengers feel so constricted that they do not feel comfortable wearing the seat belts at all!!!! not safe!!!

On the 3 rear seat belts, the emergency locking retractor locks under normal driving conditions therefore can not be unlocked unless you remove the belts and allow them to fully retract.

Rear seat belt failure. When the passenger leans forward, the belt locks and does not release. Once the passenger sits back again, the belt retracts and locks not allowing the passenger to move at all. Belt must be completely removed to release the lock.
