Owner Complaints (11)
The front passenger seatbelt snapped into 2 pieces toward the floor. It is physically impossible for that portion of the seatbelt to get caught in the door that would weaken it. The only people who are in the vehicle since we bought it new from Honda are my wife and I who are both in our 70's.

SECOND SEATBELT FAILURE. I previously reported second row passenger seatbelt that was found completely detached from anchor, at point where belt was looped and sewn. This was replaced by dealer.

Driver's front seat belt is drastically shorter than passenger front seat belt. I am restricted in ability to look around and make sure there is no other vehicle in my blind spot. There is no fix for this per the dealer as honda does not acknowledge an error.

THE DRIVER SIDE SEATBELT ON MY 2018 HONDA PILOT IS NOT THE STANDARD SIZE AND IS SHORT. IT DOES NOT EXTEND LIKE THE PASSENGER SEATBELT AND PREVENTS THE DRIVER FROM LEANING FORWARD TO CHECK OUT IT IS SAFE TO TURN. THE DRIVER SEATBELT DOES NOT LOCK IN PLACE WHEN STOPPING VEHICLE.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT IS TOO SHORT. IT IS TIGHT ACROSS MY CHEST AND THE LEFT SIDE OF MY NECK. THE DEALER OFFERS NO FIX FOR THE OTHER THAN A SEAT BELT EXTENDER WHICH HONDA DOES NOT SELL. I AM 5'2' TALL AND 220 LBS. YES I AM OVER WEIGHT BUT I'VE OWNED 8 OTHER HONDA'S AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. I AM NOW STUCK WITH A BRAND NEW VHICLE I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING.

DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT IS TOO SHORT, NOT AS LONG AS PASSENGERS SEAT BELT. IT PROHIBITS / RESTRICTS LEANING FORWARD TO CHECK ONCOMING TRAFFIC (BOTH LOOKING LEFT AND RIGHT) AT INTERSECTIONS AND MERGING SITUATIONS. I BELIEVE THIS CAUSES AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION.

THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT IS MUCH SHORTER THAN THE PASSENGER SIDE. UNLESS YOU ARE AN EXTREMELY SMALL PERSON IT IS DIFFICULT TO MOVE OR CLEARLY LOOK AT YOUR BLIND SPOTS WHEN DRIVING. THE SEAT BELT SITS ACROSS YOUR NECK AND BREAST WHICH WOULD CAUSE MAJOR DAMAGE IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW. THIS SEAT BELT WAS MADE TOO SHORT.

I found the seatbelt end that should attach the belt to the anchor on my passenger side second row detached today. The belt webbing is frayed through both the webbing and also the sewn portion that makes the loop attaching the belt to the floor/anchor.

The driver's side seat belt is considerably shorter than the front passenger seat belt. The driver's seat belt is so constricting that you can't turn to look when changing lanes. So the need to drive without using the seat belt is an issue of safety.

When using the drivers side seat belt, there is no extra give in the belt. The belt is very tight and the driver can not even turn to check their blind spot. This is very dangerous.

Driver side seat belt is short locks. In addition, it prohibits and restricts driver from leaning forward. This causes an unsafe driving condition.
