Seat Belt problem #1

The seatbelt tensioner I believe is what is called is broke. I am not sure how it happened but when it was noticed I took it to dealership in the town we were in and he looked up the part for me and explained there was 10 yr kansas seat belt warranty on it. Well come to find out my warranty expired Feb. And no dealership or even gm will help replace it. So if I'm in an accident it will most likely fail. I am a single mom with a special needs child that has to be taken to a specialist 3 hrs away. It is currently being held together by electrical tape but it looks like the wires in the thing failed.

Seat Belt problem #2

Drive side seat belt is not latching in place, I am not secure or safe. Seat belt will not safely lock in place. This happens stationary or in motion. Paperwork has been sent twice on the the replacement of my engine. Second time was paperwork was sent registered mail which did so rec'd in early Aug but I have still not rec'd a signature of recipient. Which was required.
