I posted this problem onto Clublexus, and many said that its a federal law that "car restraint system problems must be addressed and fixed by the dealer"

Obviously I no longer have warranty, but the same club lexus members said that this law works forever???

I doubt that this is true.

So, Does a law exist? Does it cover seat belts? Forever?

Thanks in advance!

Btw, the belts still tense up fine if I pull very hard so i still feel somewhat safe.
I know Honda/Acura have lifetime warranties on their seatbelts covering them from malfunctions. Don't know about Toyota/Lexus
