Seat Belt problem #1

I purchase a 2010 kia Soul ! on 12/31/2009. Soon after I notices how easily the pillars and parts of the door panel became scratched and nicked but the seat belt. Report it to kia USA and was issued a kia consumer # k1695129 and was informed that a fix would be coming in April then in June. I have heard nothing from kia since. The plastic is very soft and can even be damaged by a finger nail. I would like this sub-standard plastic to be replaced.

Seat Belt problem #2

The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times for the failures however, the dealer did nor perform a diagnostic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure.
