Honda seat belt problems

Owners have filed 2,213 complaints with NHTSA about the seat belts on Honda vehicles — 2% of everything reported about the brand, across 26 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Honda Accord, worst in 1991.

These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
