I hit the concrete base of a light pole in a post office parking lot going about 15 miles an hour ( didn't even seem to be that much ) and it made my airbags deploy. When the air bags deploy the seat belts also lock down. I called Honda to find the solution and they said it would be around $1080 for them to fix it. I reside in Tennessee and it's illegal to drive around without seat belts. I can NOT even begin to afford paying them $1000 to fix the seat belts. This is a nightmare. This ought to be illegal or criminal for them to force me into this situation. The seat belts ought to release after something like this. My bumper only has a scrape on it but now they want $4000 to fix air bags and seat belts. What a travesty. My wife and boys ride in the van mainly and I really need some help from somebody as to how to overcome this problem.
I took out one of the seat belts and took it apart but one side will not come off and it's still locked after taking apart what I have.
Not having the knowledge needed I can't figure out how to fix it.
Can someone tell me what to do?
If I buy some salvaged belts can I just connect them back to the electronics and they'll work fine? If not can I just install salvaged ones without hooking back the electronics and it will still at least protect my wife and boys? The back seats didn't do this. Just the front and driver's side.
Help help help please. Broke and without many options.
I even called my congressman about this because it ought to be criminal for them to charge you $1000 for two seat belts and safety!
Thanks in advance!
