All three occupants required medical assistance and a police report was filed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician was unable to determine the cause of the failure.

First the seatbelt buckle broke off on the back drivers side. Now the back seatbelt buckle has broken off on the back passenger side. Looks like rust has a factor in the issue.
