2013 Nissan Frontier Seat Belts

ONE MORNING I ARRIVED AT WORK AND MY SEAT BELT WOULD NOT DISENGAGE AFTER STRUGGLING WITH IT FOR 10 MINUTES I HAD TO CUT IT TO GET OUT I HAD NO PRIOR PROBLEMS WITH SEATBELT UNTIL THAT MORNING I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO NISSAN BUT THEY ARE SAYING THEY WILL NOT COVER IT APPARENTLY BECAUSE I HAD CUT IT AND THEY ARE ALSO SAYING THAT SOMETHING COULD OF BEEN STUCK IN THE LOCKING MECHANISM U ASSURE YOU THERE WAS NOT IT'S AN EXCUSE THEY ARE USING TO NOT PAY FOR IT IF I HAD BEEN IN WRECK OR FIRE I COULD HAVE DIED .

THE SEAT BELT WARNING ALARM, NOT SURE WHAT YOU WOULD CALL IT, STOPPED SOUNDING WHEN THE SEAT BELT WAS NOT CLICKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED NEW. THE TRUCK WAS STILL UNDER MANUFACTURED WARRANTY. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD US THE VEHICLE WAS NOT EQUIPPED WITH THIS. OF COURSE IT WAS WORKING WHEN THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED, WE WOULD NEVER PURCHASE A VEHICLE WITHOUT THIS FEATURE. WE HAVE TRIED TO FIND THE FEDERAL LAW STATING THIS MUST BE PART OF A VEHICLE AFTER A CERTAIN DATE, BUT HAVE NOT HAD ANY LUCK. WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY INFORMATION . THANK YOU. *JS
