Currently my 1990 infiniti m30 has been off the road almost 60 days awaiting a door latch from infiniti. Repeated attempts to get infiniti's attention have failed. The door fails to latch securely and I am afraid to drive the vehicle fearing that the door will open unexpectedly and cause damage to some thing or some one, or worse yet, cause an auto accident. If there is any way that you have to get infiniti's attention over this matter, I would appreciate your help.

Seat belts: front: buckle assembly
- What is wrong
- The front safety belt buckle release buttons can break. These red plastic release buttons are marked "press." if a button breaks, pieces can fall into the buckle assembly causing the buckle to operate improperly.
- Risk
- The safety belts would not provide adequate protection to an occupant in a vehicle crash.
- Remedy
- Owners should promptly check the condition and operation of both front safety belt buckles and carefully inspect the red release button for any breaks or cracks. They should ensure that both buckles are operating properly by inserting each latch plate into its buckle, tugging on the belt to make sure the latch is securely locked, and then pressing the release button. The latch plate should pop out of the buckle when the button is pressed. If either release button shows a sign of breaking or cracking or if either buckle fails to operate properly, owners should promptly contact their authorized dealer to schedule an appointment to have the buckle replaced or repaired free of charge.
