What owners wrote
2003 honda civic. Consumer writes in regard to defective seat belt buckle due to corrosion. The consumer stated the selt belt buckle failed latch after a roll-over crash. The sole occupant (driver) was ejected from the vehicle. The crash was fatal.
The airbag/ SRS light went off and honda dealer said it was the seatbelts and required a $530 repair. I am not sure why this is not covered under a warranty for safety.
