The contact owns a 2019 Honda Ridgeline. The contact stated that while driving approximately at 50 mph, the vehicle crashed into a second vehicle causing severe damage to the front end. During the crash, the front driver seat belt pretensioner failed and did not secure the driver causing the driver to slide down the seat during impact. The driver sustained an injured left arm and injured upper torso which required medical treatment. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed away. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not yet notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 26,700. The contact stated that the vehicle was totaled during the incident.
DRIVING AT ABOUT 55 MPH, MY 2019 HONDA RIDGELINE'S AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY WHEN I HIT A 2015 FORD FOCUS THAT FAILED TO YIELD THE RIGHT OF WAY AND CUT INFRONT OF ME. HONDA SENSING'S COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM AND FORWARD COLLISION WARNING FAILED TO ALERT ME AND FAILED TO STOP MY VEHICLE EITHER.
Rear seat belt behind passenger side (right) locks in place and will not move. To remedy this issue the belt needs to be unlatched and returned to the unused position. I cannot make the belt lock in place. I returned the vehicle to my dealer and reported the problem. They could find nothing wrong. This has reoccurred occasionally since I bought the truck. Our remedy is to not use that seat.
