Driver seat belt retracts very slowly
Hi All,
I have my TSX 05 and for the past few months i have noticed that the driver side seat belt won't retract quickly.
I have taken my car for service to the dealer recently and then didn't even mentioned that it had that problem.
How long is the warranty on the seat belts..
Thanks

I had my seatbelt tensioner break on mine at about 80K miles. It was not covered under warranty, was about $400 or so if I remember correctly. However my dealer fixed it for free because I have I bought the car new there and have done all my service there from day 1. It was cool that they hooked me up.

Honda/Acura have a lifetime warranty on seat belts. I can't find it on the website at the moment but it is:
Warranty Coverage:
Seat belts that fail to function properly during normal
use are covered under warranty for the useful life of
the car.
Warranty Does Not Cover:
• Malfunction due to abuse, alteration, accidental
damage, or damage resulting from a collision or
misuse.
• Replacement of a properly functioning seat belt for cosmetic or comfort reasons.
I took my car in last winter when I had slow retraction, but could not duplicate the problem in teh warm inspection area. The dealer was right, it is only slow when everything is cold. Apprently what happens is they take out the old belt and put a new one in for free. Then they send the belt to Acura where they test it. If the belt functions then the dealer has to pay for the belt, otherwise it is no cost ot the dealer.
Look through your owner's manual and show the dealer the seat belt warranty, that should get them to comply.
