The rear center and rear left seatbelt fasteners are switched on my new 2015 Fit EX. Does anyone else have this problem? What, if any, recourse am I entitled to?

 

If it is a new car take it to the dealer and have it fixed. If not new then get out a wrench and swap them yourself.

 

"entitled" Really?
Unless there is a recall or bulletin. You are "entitled" to stare at it. How do you know something is wrong?

 

In short, IIRC, this was a deliberate design choice by Honda. Do a search on this forum--this has been discussed before.

Question about Rear Center Seat Belt
Views: 2,925
Posted By HondaCustSvc
Honda Fit rear center seatbelt:

To some people, the center lap belts on our five-passenger Fit vehicles appear to be installed incorrectly; they’re not. Mounting the outer seat belt buckles inboard of the center belt and buckle gives the outer passengers more room to connect and disconnect their seat belts. This configuration is actually not something new and, we believe, provides passengers with greater convenience.

Word.

Yes it is switched by design.


What irks me more is the front passenger seat belt, and how the plastic base keeps coming up in front of the side lumbar support of the seat. Grr.

 

That is so weird and stupid. Well thanks. :/

 

Weird, yes. Stupid, I doubt. It sounds stupid, but I'll bet Honda spent a lot of time on that before they decided to do this. Of course, these are the folks who decided that I wanted my doors to lock and unlock automatically...
