TL* - THE CONTACT HAS A 1993 HONDA ACCORD WITH AN ODOMETER READING OF 175000 MILES WHO'S REAR PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT DOESN'T RETRACT, AND THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE LOW VISIBILITY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN HE PULLED THE SEAT BELT AROUND HIS CHILD SEAT THE WEBBING WOULD NOT RETRACT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT HAS NOT RETRACTED SINCE AND THE DEALER WOULD NOT COVER THE SEAT BELT REPAIR COST. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT HE HAS CHANGED ALL THE BULBS IN HIS HEADLIGHTS BUT HE STILL HAS VERY LOW VISIBLY AND IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS IN RECALL (06E023000). THE CONTACT HAS TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIRS UNDER THE RECALL. *JB

TURNED THE HEADLIGHTS ON. THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD IN COMPLETE DARKNESS. THEY CAME ON FOR A SHORT TIME AND WENT OUT, AGAIN. THEY STAYED OUT. LUCKILY I WAS ONLY TRAVELING AT 25 MPH AND WASN'T TOO FAR FROM THE HOUSE. I FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS FAILURE. *AK
THE REAR OUTSIDE SEATING POSITION SAFETY BELTS MAY LOCK UP AT ANGLES OTHER THAN THOSE REQUIRED BY FMVSS 209, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES". THIS DOES NOT CONFORM TO THE MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: NON-CONFORMING SAFETY BELTS CAUSE AN INCREASED RISK OF INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A SUDDEN STOP OR ACCIDENT.
Remedy: REPLACE THE SENSOR IN THE REAR SEAT BELT RETRACTOR.
