The part in question is the rear seat belt adjuster. This part is used for children who have outgrown booster seats and are still too small for the regular seat belt. I have had 6 of these seat belt adjuster break. 5 have been documented with replacements at the dealership. Most of the times I had breaked hard and they snapped in the same place all 6 times. Below I have listed the last incident date. Each time the dealership has replaced the part. The company customer service only insured that I had one available to replace it and could not tell me if a change in the design would be given. Also, they would not tell me if my warranty was up if the part would continue to be replaced.
