1991 Honda Civic seat belts problems

Vehicle pulled out in front of honda. Speed of honda at time was 40 MPH. On impact drivers seat belt worked but then failed, spooling out, causing driver to hit windshield and steering wheel. Injuries included broken jaw, collarbone,neck, both femurs,lower leg and left foot, hand, fingers and nine ribs one of which severed lower left aorta, every organ severely damaged resulting in death.

I purchased a 1991 honda civic used from a private owner. Several years later now, the automatic shoulder harness seatbelt has stopped working. I have read several places that honda of america is trying to charge owners for replacement of a system that in my opinion for the safety of car owners, should not fail in the lifetime of the car. And if it does fail I feel that honda should be responsible for replacing or repairing the automatic restraint system on its vehicles.
