2002 HONDA CR-V — Complaint #938172

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about SEAT BELTS:FRONT:WEBBING filed September 7, 2012

NHTSA complaint #938172 (ODI reference 10474177) concerns a 2002 HONDA CR-V and was filed on September 7, 2012. The owner reports the failure occurred on May 16, 2010. The report was geocoded to Arizona based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as seat belts:front:webbing, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HONDA CR-V cohort independently describe similar seat belts:front:webbing failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2002 HONDA CR-V shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

Complaint Description

I AM ONE OF THREE OWNERS WHO PURCHASED HONDA CR-V EX (AND LX) IN 2002. THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT FOR ME I WAS ABLE TO PAY FOR BY MYSELF. I WAS AT THE DEALERS AND I WAS ABLE TO SEE IT UNWRAPPED WITH ONLY 6 MILES ON IT AS I SINGED THE FORM TO GET IT THAT DAY. I HAD IT INSURANCE THE DAY I PICKED IT UP, WITH THAT BEING SAID I LOVE THIS CAR! BUT IN THE LAST TWO YEARS I HAVE NOTICE A GROWING NUMBER OF INCIDENTS INVOLVING THE SEAT BELTS IN THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE AT TIMES FOUND IT DIFFICULT TO SECURELY FASTEN THE SEAT BELTS AT ALL. MY ATTEMPT TO GET THE SEAT BELT SECURED CAN BE LABORING; MY MOTHER WITH HER FAILING HEALTH CANNOT DO IT VERY WELL AT ALL. IF I WAS ONLY ONE OF THE THREE OF US I WOULD ASSUME THAT IT IS JUST MY VEHICLE BUT IT IS NOT. IT CAN TAKE UP TO 5 MINUTES TO DO THIS SIMPLE TASK. THIS MAKES ME QUESTION IF THE CONNECTION WILL GIVE WAY DURING AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT MY 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IS IN THIS CAR TWICE A DAY. THIS IS NOT JUST ONE CAR SEAT BELT BUT ALL THE ONES IN TH
