Rear passenger seat belt has unbuckled / unlatched itself multiple times during driving. Unbuckles with passenger in seat
Drivers side seatbelt will sporadically, unlatch on its own. No particular conditions seeming involved. Just buckled one moment, and then unbuckled on its own the next
The driver seat belt only locks sometimes. It also will unlock while driving. This is a safety issue if I'm in an accident I can be thrown from the vehicle. I contacted the dealership and they advised no recall has been attached to my VIN but it is under warranty still so they can fix.
This has actually happened a few times. That stated, I KNOW I ALWAYS wear my seatbelt because my aunt was killed when she was a teenager (in the late 60's) when she was thrown through the windshield because she wasn't wearing one...so it was DRILLED into us.
The front passenger seat belt will not retract. This leave the seat belt useless and is a danger to any passenger. I contacted Hyundai to get an appointment weeks ago and tired to follow up this week and still no one has contacted me. This is unacceptable
