ALSO, THERE ARE GAS FUMES WITHIN THE VEHICLE/ TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED, AND THE DASH HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO SOME TYPE OF BLACK SPOTS ON THE DASHBOARD. *AK

#707295June 8, 1999
SEAT BELTS:FRONT:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY
FOR NO REASON, THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEATBELT LOCKS UP. ONCE LOCKED UP, IT DOES NOT RETRACT, PASSENGER MUST UNBUCKLE SEAT BELT AND RETRACT IT COMPLETELY AND THEN RE-BUCKLE. THIS HAS EVEN HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN THE CAR WAS AT A SINGLE STAND STILL. DEALER SAYS THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT, AND ACURA KNOWS OF IT, BUT DOESN'T HAVE A FIX FOR IT. HAVING TO UNBUCKLE THE SEATBELT WHILE THE CAR IS ON THE ROAD IS VERY DANGEROUS - PLEASE HELP WITH THIS. *AK
