problem #3

Front passenger seat belt failed to latch. Brought to garage and had to get it replaced... at a cost of over $190. Now, only about 2 months later, the rear passenger and middle seat belts are not latching at all. My children use these belts for their booster seats. It is extremely dangerous and a definite safety hazard. I am not wanting to have to pay another $400 or so to get these fixed as well.
