Accord 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 51,184 miles
The contact owns a 2002 Honda Accord. While driving 30 mph, the contact crashed into the driver side door of another vehicle. The driver sustained injuries to her left leg and side. A police report was filed. The seat belt did not restrain her from moving forward and the air bag failed to deploy. The dealer replaced the seat belt buckle in June of 2007 and diagnosed the vehicle due to the SRS light illuminating. In August of 2002, the SRS was replaced due to recall number 02V051000 (seat belts:front:buckle assembly). Honda also sent an investigator to inspect the vehicle and concluded that they were not responsible for the failure. The current mileage was 51,250 and failure mileage was 51,184. The consumer stated was severely injured with hernia on right side and fractured pelvis on left major surgery to be performed. The consumer further stated seatbelt did not restrain nor did airbags deploy. Updated 09/10/07

Seat belts on both sides of front have opened by themselves after seeming to be latched; first time was driver's side, I took it to local dealer who "cleaned" it even though I saw no dirt, seems to be working; but now the passenger side is doing the same thing, opening by itself during driving; again took it to local dealer, they offered to "clean" it again but I said no, I did not see any dirt and they told me that if someone had spilled a drink on it the seat belt would not work any more; I advised North american Honda (tina at 1-800-999-1009, ext. 118088, case number N-012001-10-18-00512), they offered to replace seat belt with new one but of same design and I said no. To sum up, belts appear to be latched but are not, and I did not see any dirt or other barriers, and furthermore even if someone did actually spill a drink I cannot imagine that would cause a seatbelt (twice now) to fail to stay closed. I am convinced this design is not safe.
