Owner reports
Selected complaints filed with NHTSA by 1995 Honda Accord owners, lightly cleaned up (personal details are redacted by NHTSA).
Owner has problems with fastening seat belts; she states when driver's side seat belt is fastened it gets very tight, causing the owner to think twice about wearing it. Consumer states seat belt is not long enough for driver to use therefore can no, short heavy person can not reach pedal and seat belt will not go completlt around consumer, therefore have to drive without seat belt.
I have contacted auto parts dealers to determine if the 1994 and 1995 SRS control units are interchangable. They are. Therefore, the recall on the 1994 accords for failure of this part should have applied to all of the 1995 accords. Why has NHTSA not required Honda to recall all models of the Accord in these years for failure of this part?
Consumer hit vehicle in front at about 40 MPH. Seat belt did not work ,airbag did not deploy. Dealer refuses to put new air bags and seatbelts, claims there is no problem, air bag was not suppose to deploy. All damage was done to front end.
Restraint belt retractor for the right rear passenger position has failed. Dealership diagnosed problem over the phone, and has not examined vehicle. Please provide any additional information / documentation.
Driver's seat belt mechanism failed to release latch plate after being used. Had taken vehicle to dealership, and was informed by mechanic that no parts were available. Parts would be ordered for repairs.
When the rear seat/ passenger's side and driver's side seat belts were extended to the maximum they did not retract properly and remained stretched all the way out. Dealer has not been contacted.
