THE PROBLEM I HAVE WITH MY ACCORD, IS THAT THE MOTORIZED SEAT BELTS, WILL NOT TIGHTEN, WHEN I WOULD SUDDENLY AND QUICKLY PULL ON IT. IT SEEMS THAT THIS WOULD BE A MAJOR PROBELM, BECAUSE, IF DO NOT USE THE SUPPLEMENTAL SEATBELTS (THE WAIST ONES), THEN ESSENTAILLY I WOULD BE DRIVING WITHOUT A SEATBELT, OR ONE THAT DOES NOT WORK. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS, AND NOTIFY ME IF THERE IS SUCH A RECALL ON THIS PART OF THE CAR. THANK YOU!

WHY HAS NORTH AMERICAN HONDA NOT ISSUED A RECALL OF ALL HONDA DOOR FAILURES ? ACCORDING TO OUR MECHANIC, THERE HAS BEEN THOUSANDS OF THE VERY SAME DOOR LOCK FAILURES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. WE SPENT OVER $600.00 DOLLARS TO GET OUR DOOR CUT OFF, SO THA IT COULD HAVE THE INTERNAL PARTS REPLACED, SO THAT WE COULD OPEN THE DOOR NORMALLY. WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPEND IF IT OCCURED DURING AN ACCIDENT, AND THEN WE COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, WHAT IF BECAUSE OF THE FAILING WE HAD DIED ? WHAT THEN, WOULD NORTH AMERICAN HONDA ISSUE A RECALL THEN ? IS THAT THE PRICE IT TAKES TO GET SOMEBODY TO NOTICE THE OBVIOUS AND BLATANT DISREGARD THAT HONDA HAS FOR IT'S CUSTOMERS AND THE SAFETY OF ALL AMERICANS WHO DRIVE THESE DEATH TRAPS JUST WAITING TO HAPPEN? I DEMAND A RECALL!, BEFORE SOMEONE DIES, ALL BECAUSE A GREEDY CORPORATION WAS UNWILLING TO RECTIFY A FAULT CLEARLY OF THEIR OWN MAKING, AND TOO CALLOUS TO CARE ABOUT THE LIVES AND SAFTY OF AMERICAN DRIVERS.
