Problem with my seatbelt

DSCLegend94 said:

Ok i'm going to get it for this but....I was drinking pink lemonade inside my Legend and it spilled on myself, my seat, and the seatbelt. Now the seatbealt doesn't lock up, it will sometimes, but as I'm driving it will unlock. Can I fix this myself, maybe spraying some windex or something or should I take it somewhere? Isn't the dealer supposed to replace or fix the seatbelts for free!!??

Hi Buddy.

look at Koji´s homepage... http://www.legendtuner.com/

choose "REPAIRS"
then "SEAT BELTS"

Hope this helps

Just had the same problem with the RT belt on my coupe. Dealer replaced it under warranty.

Is the belt under some sort of life time warranty? The buckle of my rear middle belt came apart? I put it back together but it keeps falling apart.

Yes, seatbelts are a lifetime warranty item. And that's lifetime of the car, not the original owner. Any time there's a seatbelt problem, just go to a dealer and insist that they fix it. It doesn't cost them anything, since Acura corporate picks up the tab on those things.

nice info

what else is under lifetime warranty??

I wish everything!! Hehehe no he's right, I had two belts replaced under warrenty, passenger and driver side. --=Keith

Yes, all safety components are free for life, with the exception of [the SRS] which is covered for 10 years from the manufacturing date of the vehicle.

Safety components which includes seatbelt cables, seatbelt locking mechanisms, seatbelt extenders, seatbelt buckles, seatbelt locking, etc. One thing to note in our Legends, especially in the coupe, is the use of that automatic mechanisms that places the seatbelt closer to you, that is NOT under lifetime warranty since you can pull that manually, if it breaks and it doesn't serve to prevent or cause any more or less fatal injury to you.

Hey asianlegend are you sure about the ABS deal? I have a '94 and my ABS light just came on and it's not fluid related, according to what you're saying I can get it repaired free?? Can you give me a link to back this up so i can take it to my dealer? thanks in advance

Thanks for the info. If I knew about this I would of gotten it taken cared of a while ago.

My mistake. After re-reading what I wrote, I updated the message. I was referring to the SRS system, not the ABS system. Funny thing is I was talking to a friend about the ABS system while typing that message. My duh!

actually, the SRS system also has a lifetime warranty if it wasn't tampered with, and if all related parts were inspected and replaced if necessary after accidents

Fixed it without going to the dealer. I just sprayed it with some windex, let it soak for a while and then no more sticky lock. Thanks for the info though, if for some reason it stops working then I know where to take it.

Yeah, I did those temp solutions on my old Prelude before. On the Prelude, it tends to be slow, since the entire belt assembly resides on the door, you know that anchor part, it becomes dirty over time and slows down the retraction, so the lady told me to just clean it using Isopropyl Alcohol and it worked great for 2 weeks before it began slowing down again. Give it a shot and if it doesn't work well, then just take it to the dealer.
