“Iin december of 2004 my son was in the backseat putting on his seat belt and an it broke. Since then he has been sitting in the middle. About 3 weeks ago the same thing happened to the seat belt. On monday the 21st of march I was putting my other sons car seat in the car and was tightning up the belt and that one broke too. Now I have no seat belts that work in my back seat. I cannot beleive that they would break that easily. What if I would have gotten into an accident prior to this I am sure they would have broke. I have the car in for repairs to have the seat belts looked at. …”
