In owners’ own words

the second row seat belts come disengaged while driving. We will buckle in our child, double check it is locked by pulling on seat belt and a couple minutes later it will disengage from the buckle and come undone. This is happening on a regular basis with our Palisade and the dealer/corporate office has no notes on this issue.
The seat belts in the second row won’t buckle until the 5th or 6th try and will randomly pop out of the buckle once secured while driving down the road
Our 2nd row, passenger side seatbelt releases itself randomly while driving. The Hyundai dealership couldn't replicate it but all they did was insert the seatbelt and tug on it. Multiple passengers have had it happen to them randomly so we don't use that seat if possible.
Captains seats in the middle of the vehicle keep having the seatbelts unbuckle by themselves when in use. It does not matter the size of the rider. We replaced the entire assembly with original parts for the driver side captain seat in October by a Hyundai dealer. It continues to be an issue. The right side was cleaned and reassembled.
The middle passenger seatbelt receptacle that came with the vehicle is the component that often failed. Passengers sitting in this particular seat would often try to put on their seatbelt and it would not catch. Though intermittent, this would occur 1/3 to 2/3 of the time.
