1 Rear Seat Belt problem

Failure Date: 11/08/2006

After having problems with the seat belts in the rear seat of our minivan, being that they don't' unlatch at certain times as well as the fact that at times when trying to latch them, they won't latch until much difficulty, I did a search for information on them, and find that these seat belts are dangerous (gen 3) I called the dealer to ask about having them replaced and they said there wasn't anything they could do as they would just be the same (version) put back in. I want the seat belt replaced as I have 5 children and often have them in this vehicle, it is unfortunately not likely that we can afford to have the car replaced at this time, or we certainly would.
