Im sure acura will cover this but most of the times if i have to make an urgent stop or if i take my seatbelt, it doesnt do either of the following

1. stop and catch the belt
2. auto wind back up

anyone else with this problem?

mine is doing the same.....

I know there is a recall on something to do with the seat belts. I had it done on mine and I can't remember why there was a recall on it. Check your Owner Link and it should be listed if your car is available for the recall.

lol i was being sarcastic when i said that lol

vettefool

mine does the same thing, really a pain

alleyesonmeee

Ok, the recall was for the latch, but they replace the whole seat belt to fix it. If you haven't had it done yet, you could just get the recall done if your car is one that is affected by it?

Hey everyone, the seatbelt is a safety item, lifetime warranty, take it back to the dealership, had it done to my gf 90 legend a year ago.

goldendragon576

there is a recall on this item. take it to your dealer and they should replace it for free.

moahdriven

good to kno, mine has been pissing me off for a while

bkzjimmy

same here

I had this problem...the dealer said it was because of dirt build up, so they just "cleaned" it up. that made no sense, so I took it to another dealer and they replaced the whole latch and belt. works fine now...

even if the car is out of warranty??

YES. My understanding is that safety items are lifetime warranty. My dealer told me that they are not allowed to make any type of repairs on seatbelts - Acura requires them to replace the entire piece, even if they know what the problem is.

IndyTypeS

same thing I was told, but not sure if it's always followed.

Green2000TL

I had the front seatbelt replaced on my gf's 14 year old legend under warranty. But I think it also has to do with what dealership you take it to. Some service people are just lazy. I think you can call Honda and ask what their policy is for safty devices and you can use that to your advantage when you go into the dealership. That way they can not say that corperate is wrong and they are right.

I have a 99 tl and mine is doing this also. Has anyone tried to take it to the dealer?

my seatbelt takes forever to wind back up. I guess I should take it in and have the dealership look at it!

whatwasthat

mine does the same slow crawl back up. then my srs lit up. but i just reset it myself. would the SRS light up b/c of this? if so, would it be okay to tell him that i reset the light myself when i bring it to them to look at?

Street Spirit

SRS = Supplementary Restraint System = Airbags

No, it is not your seatbelt - that has a different dash light that only illuminates when you are not buckled in.

whatwasthat

okay, so i should just bring it in to get it fixed right since its part of safety. ...?

Chet03TL-S

If your tensioners aren't working take it to the dealer. All seatbelts have a lifetime warranty. Federal regulation.

03CoupeV6

Not entirely true. The SRS light WILL light up due to faulty seatbelt latch sensors, which I believe are part of the recall. I'd have to look it up to give exact details, and I'm too lazy at the moment. You're right about the acronym, but you must realize that the airbags supplement the seatbelts, and the seatbelts supplement the airbags so SRS = Seatbelts AND Airbags.



On topic, my TL-P (2002) mades a "CLICK" noise and jerks a little every time I take it off or turn the car off. It sounds like something is releasing?

AcuraTl203

when i replied in this post it was my 00TL seatbelt retracting slowly, now my 02 Type s does the same thing and acura said they wont replace it untill it doesnt work at all , as long as it pulls out so u can use it and it locks on impact thats all they care about

Green2000TL

That's a bunch or crap, so they are telling you that they will only fix it when it stops working...it maybe too late for your safety at that point. Call Honda customer supput at (800) 382-2238. Their goal is to keep the customer satisfied and safe. Dealerships are only looking to make money. Tell the support that the seatbelt retracts slow and that it takesa while to tighen up.

i didnt know this. my seatbelt is gettin on my nerves, everytime i lean foward the seatbelt just hangs when i sit back!!

You aint kidding, mine started doing this and I was starting to get pissed. Everyday this forum teaches me something else about this car.

whoopidoo

Funny this came back up today. While mine was replaced SEVERAL months back, it is now doing it again. Calling the dealer today. It's not like I am hard on the seatbelt - you sit, you click it on, drive, and remove it. Repeat. Frustrating this is my second go-round.

Cheers.

I had this same problem, both front seatbelts wouldn't retract properly, the dealer said they are dirty and replacing both of them under warranty, and i had looked in the warranty manual before i went, all safety items, airbags, seatbelts etc. are covered under life time warranty so i was prepared to show them just in case. Took her in when they got in, 1hr later she was complete and better than ever!! They know of this problem, he didn't even hesistate to get them replaced.

antlive

Just got off the phone with 2 dealers, both said the samething. Most likely thing to be covered under warranty is the latch.
