Description of the problem	I started to have issues with my seat belt's and i called the dealer and took it in and they said they couldn't find an issue i continue to have problem's took it back several time's and they said the same thing now my seat belt's in the back of my car do not work at all i took it back and they said it was out of warranty that i would have to pay for it. Then after that i started having an issue with my passenger side seat and air bag the light on the dash next to the clock wouldn't go off or it just flickered and the air bag icon with the person on it came on and hasn't went off i told them about this issue as well and the said they couldn't find a problem but now that the light next to the clock has gone out and the person icon with the air bag on my dash just stay's on i took it to them and they said i would have to buy a passenger seat for $1,900. 00 because my warranty for that part was up. I feel that they should fix these issues because they are a safety issue and i transport small children in my car.
