Neither of the lap/shoulder belts hold tight. The plastic that surrounds the metal buckle has cracked and the belts will no longer keep a tight fit. Child safety seats cannot be installed because the belts will not hold them in place. I called the dealer and was told the seat belts are no longer under warranty.
