3 Child Seat problem

Failure Date: 04/21/1999

The van we purchased has integrated child car seats. The buckle flap is made of hard plastic. As we were waiting at a stoplight, my 2 year old son showed me a piece of the buckle that had broken off. It was about the size of a dime. He easily could have choked on it. I informed the dealership and was told that it was under warranty and they would replace the car seats. (the other buckle is beginning to break. I then called Chrysler and told them about the choking hazard and they did not see it to be a problem. If this was a toy it would have been recalled. They are replacing the buckle with the same buckle part it had. The same problem will occur. I do not want any children, including my own to choke and die. Please help!.
