I was involved in an accident where the other vehicle pulled out in front of me. I hit the brakes and also hit the side of the other vehicle. Both air bags deployed, but the driver seat belt broke.

I am in victoria, bc Canada, but this vehicle is built in the us. The female portion of the seat belt uses the sheath as a guide. This is held in place by a weak plastic clip. Eventually this clip deteriotates and the sheath slips down, no longer functioning properly as a quide and one is able to insert the seatbelt between the mechanism and the guide thinking it is done up, which it isn't. I believe this is a major safety issue which needs to be addressed immediately. The replacement part is exactly the same as the original. Both the driver's and passenger's have failed on my vehicle. Luckily, I have not been involved in an accident.
