I would like to know what consumers can do to get replacements for the gen3 seatbelts which have been tested as unsafe according to the abc news report. The seatbelts can unlock in an accident. Please do something to have these vehicles recalled.

There exists a recall on the seat belt retractors which is being honored by the dealer, however, the latching receptacle on the passenge side has failed. It does not latch securely and will release of its own volition. The dealer wants to charge for a new latch and while the cost is not exorbitant, I feel this is a safety item and should be factory warranted without limit. If I were the company I would far rather repalce an item such as this as opposed to being subject to a lawsuit for someone injured or killed due to failure.
