Front Seat Belt Anchorage Problems of Kia Motor Sephia

I own a 3 year old kia Sephia. It was purchased as a used car from garden grove kia in CA. I bring to kia for all recommended regular maitenance. The last major checkup (30k miles) was less 6000 miles ago. Today, while fastening my seatbelt, the screw fixing the bottom part of seat belt to the car frame popped out of the frame. As only minimum force was needed for this to happen (fastening the seatbelt), this problem probably already persisted for month or even since the car was manufactured. If this would have happend in an accident situation, I would be dead now. This is a fairly new car and I take good care of it (following the manufacturer recommended maintenance schedule). Such utter failure of crucial security equipment is absolutely inacceptable. Please investigate.

The kia seats broke and reclined back and the seat belt on the driver side broke. Many injuries were incurred on both the driver and passenger.

Just recently my sealbelt started failing. My wife noticed the problem a few weeks ago and now the belt fails almost everytime we put it on! the belt does click and the dash light does go off when we put on the belt. We will be driving and we will hear a click and then look at the latch on the belt and it has separated. This seems to be a very dangerous failure of the drivers belt. After the belt is latched and you give it a little tug it usually pops open.
