The front passenger side automatic seat belt on my 1991 honda accord lx suddenly stopped working. I talked to a service mechanic at the honda dealership and he said that the lifetime warranty on seat belts dd not cover automatic seat belts. It is my understanding that a lapbelt alone is not enough to protect a passenger in the event of a collision. Currently i can not afford the cost that they quoted for repair and…

Automatic seatbelt stopped working on 91 honda accord. Took it to honda & was told the lifetime warranty on electrical part of the seat belt is not applicable.

The motorized seat belts have malfunctioned occasionally since the purchase of the car. There is no pattern to the malfunction. The seat belts either fail to disengage when the car is stopped, or they fail to engage when the car is started. It seems to happen more frequently when there is a passenger, but not all the time. *ak
