Consumer Description

FRONT SEAT BELTS BECOME LOOSE AND DO NOT HUG CLOSE TO YOUR CHEST ONCE THE CAR IS STARTED. I HAVE CHECKED LEXUS FORUMS AND HAVE FOUND OTHER LEXUS OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW IN THAT THE RETRACTOR SYSTEM IS A DUAL RECOIL SYSTEM THAT IS ACTUATED BY A SECONDARY RELAY ONCE THE CAR IS STARTED. THE SECONDARY RETRACTOR IS SUPPOSED TO GIVE YOU MORE FREEDOM WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING BUT SEEMS TO BECOME EXCESSIVELY LOOSE TO THE POINT OF HANGING DOWN AWAY FROM YOUR BODY. I FEAR IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT THE SEAT BELTS WILL BE OF NO USE AND THUS THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
