SRS light came on in dashboard. Diagnostics indicated front passenger seat belt buckle (no continuity). Accura warranty states, "will repair or replace any Acura seat belt component that fails to function properly during normal use. This includes all parts and labor charges. Coverage continues for 15 years or 150,000 miles whichever comes first. Car is less than 15 years old and has 139K miles. The dealer replaced the passenger seat belt assembly costing $429 and said I had to get warranty claim from Acura hq. I contacted Acura client relations (case # 100009213) and was told it was not covered under warranty because the seat belt was not defective. How a call center rep over the phone could tell me what was or was not wrong with the seat belt assembly is a mystery. Further, he selected the sensor as a component that he said was not working and he did not consider that a component of the seat belt assembly. The issue is that Acura can't selectively define what is and is not a component after stating in the warranty, "repair or replace any Acura seat belt component that fails to function properly...." the word, "any" by definition means not specific or particular. The safety issue is that Acura has not met its obligation to ensure that the seat belt components are functioning properly within the stated time period.

The airbag seat belt sensor or light is on all the time it's common for these types of vehicles of 2004 to 2008. It is a safety issue that should be resolved, I was told it wasnt under warranty or a recall because the vehicle is older than 10 years, but clearly on the website it says under 15 years it should be covered. I wanted to clear this up with Acura service department but they wanted to charge me about $600 for a diagnostic test and almost $2000 for reinstalling an airbag and sensor, which I saw online it's a recall but my cars VIN says I dont have a recall. I already did a diagnostic test thru my mechanic and have all the codes that states it is a recall what can I do? I bought this car used and the airbag seat belt sensor light is always on.
