While child was sitting in vehicle, shoulder belt got caught around child's neck, and the consumer had to cut the shoulder seat belt in order to remove shoulder belt from around the child neck.

The shoulder belts cut across my throat. I cannot locate an extension because the seatbelt connector is proprietary and the car manufacturer has been unable to provide a solution. I think I need an extension, to enable the shoulder belt to cross the center of my chest and across my shoulder. However due to the proprietary seat belt latch, I cannot locate a 3rd party to provide a solution. I'm concerned that in a minor accident where a properly-fitting seat belt would protect me from injury, I may receive a severe or fatal neck injury instead. Is the car manufacture responsible for helping find a solution? I'm willing to pay for parts or special design changes.
