2016 Subaru Outback Seat Belts Problems

Incident occurred on Interstate 25 Northbound at approximately mm 190. My speed was approximately 70 MPH. Weather was dry and about 70 degrees.

Passenger side front seatbelt locked up and became non-functional, unable to be used. This left our passenger without a safe or legal way to ride in the vehicle with all other seats being used. The part was replaced by the dealer under warranty

The center seatbelt in the back seat ( the one that comes down from the roof of the vehicle) has frayed and become torn three times in 20 months. The first repair was done dec 21, 2016, second was oct 27,2017 and the most recent was feb 13,2018. The belt system has been reported as replaced all three times, but it keeps occurring in the same place and manner each time.
