Component | SEAT BELTS |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | The rear center passenger's left seat belt buckle anchor is reversed making it nearly impossible to properly buckle 3 passengers in the back seat. This is a safety hazard as my center passengers, finding it a herculean feat when seated, often decline to buckle up. I've included two photos of this buckle showing this condition. As seen when buckled w/o a passenger, the belts overlap. Because of this the center passenger's body prevents access to the buckle as it is hidden behind the strap of the left rear passenger. I understand that honda designed it this way to provide wider seating for the left rear passenger. However, this design is dangerous and is unacceptable and will eventually lead to fatalities. Also i'm told that the honda accura's design is correct. |
