Does anyone feel like their seat belt pulls back weaker then it's supposed to? Like when I'm about to get out of the car and I take off my belt, I literally have to feed it back inside and sometimes when I'm driving it feels like I don't have it on (which is an uncomfortable feeling for me) and I would have to pull on it to get it tighter. Anyone else feelin me on this or am I solo?



BTW I tried to search and it just gave me this message: siteId is missing or invalid

 

i have this problem with my driver's seatbelt.. do you have an SRS light?
i think thats why mine is on.

 

I have the same issue too with both front belts but more so the drivers side one

 

i had the same problem, took it to the dealer and they replaced it for free. i was still under warranty so im not sure how much it costs, but your not alone.

 

Yeah it doesn't do it all the time for me but whenever I get I sometimes have to do that

 

Nope, no SRS light for me.

 

If you get an SRS light- proceed to the dealer for free -special 10 year/150k miles SRS warranty extension

Seatbelts had some issue too, call acura 1-800-382-2238x5, and ask if there is anything about that in their system. Its just a phone person, not a car tech, so they can register your car and complaint, tell you to take it to the dealer and have a case manager assigned.
800 can tell you about other parts with extended warranties (no charge to us)

Also drop by the dealer and ask them about it, and to run your VIN for recall notices on anything
now that I think about it, mine doesnt go back fully getting out of the car...

 

mine does that too, just on the drivers side. I had it fixed once and the techs said they just clean the mechanism with alchohol wipes to remove residue or some crap like that, but it doesn't stay tight on the body sometimes. I'm going to take it back in soon.

 

me too helpful thread! Damn i was just at ACura yesterday and didnt even think to ask now i have to go back 2morrow since there closed today.

O yea and i tried to search too and its giving me the same error message.

 

iirc the owner book says the seatbelt is supposed to be near your chest but not tight- when the car senses a sudden braking- (tap the brake shard to see), then it pretensions and locks the belt in place
Thats what to do at track day coming out of the pits- hit the brakes quick and the belts stay nice and tight for you~

 

yea i have to feed my seat belt back in or ill slam it in the door. its been weak like this for at least two years for me. cus i never realized until two years ago wen i slammed my door and the seat belt buckle got smashed into the door jam - pretty ugly.

 

Yes, and its an awful sound.

 

same thing for me... noticed it just after i bought the car...

 

I though seat belts were warrantied no matter what due to safety reasons.

 

it feels tight on me, but as the rest of you, always goes back in so slow and sometime forced in also

 

Im going to take my to the dealer 2morrow since they shoud do something about it, or i might call that Acura number first and see what they say,

 

the people at the 800 number can only read from a book, often its
from "The Book of NO!"
If there is a known problem-special warranty, they can tell you that
The service MANAGER at the dealer is who to ask about it
The have access to all the TSB info in addition to the recalls and warranty

 

Good thread!

 

Yep, Same problem here 2, But not 2 the maximum. & I have seen this on lot of Civic & Accord's 2. Probably gon' try to clean it up & see if that helps.

 

Both my front belts are fooked like that..pain in the ass as I hate closing door on the buckle.

 

Yea the seatbelts are lifetime warranty..my driver one does the same thing...I just havent had time to bring it in.

 

^ is this true for canadians too?

 

Not sure...I looked at the sticker on the window from when I bought my car and it lists lifetime warranty on seatbelts.

 

I forgot to tell Acura about it maybe i can get Honda to do it 2morrow when i take it in

 

seatbelts should be lifetime warranty. I wanna say its a national policy. Either way, go to the dealer, and tell them to fix it. If they say no, then make sure to kindly get their name and their manager's name and get the "no need to replace" recommendation in writing. That'll usually scare them into fixing it since it is a safety system.

 

While my seat belt does retract the passenger one defiantly does it a lot faster. It must have gotten worn out over the years.

 

man, you are hella on point with this!!! Great post

 

So I made an appointment for tomorrow to bring my car in for that seat belt issue. I asked the service writer if its under warranty she said she doesnt know and that the advisor will tell me? I went and double checked the sticker from when I bought my car and it says lifetime seat belt warranty.

 

you cannot expect the girl who writes your name down in the schedule to actually know anything about cars do you?
Your lucky if the service writer has ever worked on cars as a hobby-let alone a former tech who can explain whats going on with your car.

Then the warranties- the newest cars they may have more knowledge on -because training is more for the newer cars coming in for service and bugs

There is a computer they can look up everything for your car
You can too on http://owners.acura.com/registration...erstepone.aspx
need your VIN to register, everyone should, its acura's system

 

Got the car back today and everything was covered by warranty. They replaced the whole driver side seat belt.

 

Buy a racing harness

 

I might buy more than just a harness...the salesman that sold me my car gave me an offer on a 08 KBP TL-S with 15k miles for $29k...car is in perfect condition. I'm so tempted!
