Seat Belt problem #1

I have a 1997 Mitsubishi Galant. The seatbelt on the driver's side will not stay locked. It comes off when I am driving down the road. I called two Mitsubishi dealers in virginia beach and they told me that this was not covered under any warranty. I thought seatbelts lasted the lifetime of the car. Can you tell me how to go about getting this fixed. I have two children who ride with me daily and would hate for an accident to happen and my kids have to witness their mom go through the windshield due to unsafe seatbelt.

Front Seat Belt Buckle Assembly problem #2

Center buckle is placed directly behind the driver's side in order to buckle up in the center of the rear , seatbelts have to be criss-crossed.
