“The front passenger side seat belt makes a clicking sound and feels latched in appropriately. However, on multiple occasions (approximately 20 to 30), it has come undone. I took it to the dealership and they tried to attach the seatbelt and see if it would come loose. However, they could not reproduce the problem so nothing was done. This has happened to 4 different people in the passenger seat wearing that seatbelt, all of whom have had various honda or acura cars for years and have not previously encountered this apparent problem with the latch.*ak”Owner report · Seat Belts · Dec 2004
