The front drivers side seat belt is way to short for a normal human being. I'm average height and weight but when I attempt to put the seat belt around me it barely fits. Once I manage to get it locked there's no slack.in case of accident the seat belt will cause injuries.

The drivers side seat belt is to confining and tight that it hinders the movement of the driver slowing reaction time. It is unsafe. The driver's side seat belt does not extend out far enough for a short heavy person to pull the seat belt around and buckle it so it is comfortable.

I just bought a new pilot after owing a 2011 for 6 years. I never had any issues with my 2011 pilot seat belts. On the 2017 pilot, the driver's side seat belt appears to be several inches shorter than the passenger's side.

The driver seat seatbelt is too short to comfortably buckle while wearing winter clothing, or for individuals with a larger stomach. In addition it is not possible to lean forward while stopped to look around obstacles when pulling out of a location with limited visibility. This leaves no choice but to use an aftermarket extender or just not buckle up.

Driver side seatbelt is markedly shorter than passenger side as well as other current year honda models. My wife is shorter than I and when she positions the seat, she has barely any travel in the belt. This could be very dangerous and apparently has been previously reported and is documented in various forums on the internet.
