In addition it is not possible to lean forward while stopped to look around obstacles when pulling out of a location with limited visibility.

The front drivers side seat belt is way to short for a normal human being. I'm average height and weight but when i attempt to put the seat belt around me it barely fits.

Driver side seatbelt is markedly shorter than passenger side as well as other current year honda models. My wife is shorter than i and when she positions the seat, she has barely any travel in the belt. This could be very dangerous and apparently has been previously reported and is documented in various forums on the internet.

I just bought a new pilot after owing a 2011 for 6 years. I never had any issues with my 2011 pilot seat belts. On the 2017 pilot, the driver's side seat belt appears to be several inches shorter than the passenger's side. It makes it difficult for me to be able to move the seat to an optimal position because it traps me in too tightly if i move the seat forward or raise it higher. I am a shorter person and i'm not…

The drivers side seat belt is to confining and tight that it hinders the movement of the driver slowing reaction time. It is unsafe. The driver's side seat belt does not extend out far enough for a short heavy person to pull the seat belt around and buckle it so it is comfortable. The passenger side seat belt has no issue. A visual inspection comparing the 2 seat belts shows the driver side seat belt does not come…
