2010 Honda Civic Seat Belts Problems

After your car was repaired for an airbag recall, your driver's side seat belt buckle stopped being detected when latched, causing the seat belt warning light to stay on. Your dealer told you this could prevent your passenger's airbag from working properly. The issue wasn't fixed because the required parts weren't available. Fixing this will likely require replacing the seat belt buckle sensor or the seat belt assembly itself.

Your driver's side seat belt is stuck and won't unlatch properly, even though it's been replaced twice before. You may need to pull hard or jiggle it several times to get it to release. The issue could involve the seat belt buckle mechanism, retractor assembly, or the latch plate itself that needs inspection or replacement.
