Honda Cr-v Seat Belts Safety Report | Feb 20, 2010
Reported on Feb 20, 2010
| I HAVE A 2002 HONDA CR-V. I ALWAYS HAVE 2 CAR SEATS IN THE REAR OF IT. JUST YESTERDAY, THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE, THE PART THAT ATTACHES TO THE FLOOR, BROKE DURING A HARD STOP, SENDING ONE CHILD INTO THE REAR OF THE DRIVERS SEAT. THE INTERNAL PARTS OF THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE IS WHAT CAME UNDONE OR BROKE. THE CHILD TURNED OUT TO BE FINE, BUT JUST SCARED. THIS CAR IS ONLY 7.5 YEARS OLD, AND I DON'T BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE HAPPENING. I STILL REMEMBER THE OLD DAYS AND CARS WHEREAS THE BUCKLES WERE MADE OF METAL. EVERY BUCKLE IN THIS CAR IS PLASTIC! I'M A PRETTY GOOD SIZE GUY AND I JUST DON'T FEEL THAT MY DRIVERS SIDE WOULD HOLD ME IN IF I WAS EVER IN A FRONT END COLLISION. WHAT IF THAT CHILD HAD HIS WINDOW DOWN? HE COULD HAVE BEEN EJECTED OUT OF IT. A FRONT END COLLISION COULD'VE MEANT A BROKEN NECK OR SOMETHING? I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO SEE OUR HONDA DEALER ABOUT THIS YET, BUT I FEEL IT IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO CHECK ON THIS PROBLEM. *TR | |
