I had recall 283 and 292 completed at Hyundai autonation savannah on abercorn 10-19-26. There are pieces broken and screws of some kind left on the floor. Additionally, the clip was broken on the underseat airbag I believe it is from my research. I have concerns about the safety of the seat and the assembly of the components. I fear that if the seat moves forward, could that cause injury to my child in the seat. Could the seatbelt not work properly? I have reached out repeatedly to have an inspection done and received no assistance. I can’t pay out of pocket right now for an inspection of the vehicle seats and safety belts. I have photo documentation of my concerns. The cosmetic aspect of it can be handled via emails and me reaching out to corporate but the safety of the seats must be addressed. I don’t know if you can help me or not. Thank you for your time.

I am reporting an unresolved safety issue involving the seat belt buckle recall on my 2023 Hyundai Palisade (NHTSA recall 25v-607 / Hyundai campaign 283). For several months, I have repeatedly contacted Hyundai myrtle beach attempting to have the recall repair completed. I do not have the exact dates of every telephone call, but there have been multiple attempts. I was repeatedly advised that the necessary replacement parts were unavailable. The situation is particularly concerning because the front passenger seat belt is now not functioning properly. This is no longer only a potential recall-related safety concern; there is currently a seating position in my vehicle where the seat belt cannot be relied upon to function properly. I transport my children in this vehicle and am concerned about their safety. After repeated unsuccessful attempts through the dealership, I escalated the matter to Hyundai consumer affairs. Consumer affairs arranged an appointment several weeks in advance for September 1, 2026, at Hyundai myrtle beach. My consumer affairs representative confirmed that the recall repair would be performed at this appointment. I drove to the dealership for the scheduled appointment expecting the vehicle to be repaired. Upon arrival, I was informed that the dealership did not have the replacement seat belt parts and could not perform the repair. Despite repeated attempts through both the dealership and Hyundai consumer affairs, the recall remains unrepaired and the front passenger seat belt remains nonfunctional. I am concerned about Hyundai’s ability to provide this safety recall remedy, particularly when a seat belt has already malfunctioned, and whether other Palisade owners are experiencing similar delays. I am requesting that NHTSA review Hyundai’s handling and parts availability for this recall.

The manufacturer was contacted but provided no assistance. The contact had not experienced a failure.

This vehicle has had an open recall for seat belts for over a year. We have had issues with the seat belts and stated that to our local Hyundai shop in farmington, nm multiple times. Even when the car has been in for other things. The only thing they can tell us is that the seatbelts are on backorder and they do not know when they will be in. Then they give us a print out stating the vehicle has an open recall. Like really, we know that you can't seem to fix it. My daughter who should still be in a booster seat is unable to use a booster due to the seat belts coming undone sometimes when buckling them if we use a booster. I feel like with a safety recall like this, if you can't get the seat belts in the cars that are already on the road, mabe the manufacturer does not need to be producing new cars as they too require seat belts. I put in the most recent date we were told the belts were on order in the date occurred.

I own a 2024 Hyundai Palisade that is subject to recall campaign 283 involving defective seat belt buckle assemblies. Before learning of the recall, the driver's seat belt unexpectedly unlatched while I was driving. This has happened multiple times. The seat belt appeared to be properly fastened before driving but released while the vehicle was in motion. There were no warning lights or messages before the failures. This creates a serious safety hazard because the driver is no longer properly restrained while the vehicle is moving, significantly increasing the risk of injury or death in the event of a sudden stop or crash. After receiving the recall notice, I took the vehicle to an authorized Hyundai dealership in February 2026. The dealership confirmed the recall but said replacement parts were unavailable and that I would be contacted when they arrived. As of August 2026, the repair still has not been completed. When I called for an update, I was told I am "far down on the list" and that it will still be a long time before parts are available. I contacted Hyundai customer care to explain that my vehicle has already experienced the recalled defect. Hyundai did not provide a repair timeline, expedite the repair, or offer any interim solution. Instead, they advised me to continue driving the vehicle and to pull on the seat belt after buckling it to ensure it was latched. The recalled seat belt buckle remains installed and is available for inspection. Hyundai has acknowledged this safety defect through a recall, but despite waiting more than six months, I have been unable to obtain the required repair for a defect that has already occurred multiple times while I was driving.

This vehicle has had an open recall for defective seat belts since 9/11/2025, but the Hyundai dealership I purchased from has been unable to perform repairs due to insufficient parts on hand. I've been told we're on a waitlist for parts but there is a nationwide shortage and there is no estimate when parts will be available.

This vehicle has two open safety recalls that the manufacturer has been unable to repair. Recall 25v607000 (manufacturer campaign 283, seat belt buckles, front row and second row outer) was issued in September 2025. The dealer has attempted the repair since March 2026 and cannot complete it because the buckle assembly is on back order. On a June 2026 repair order the dealer listed the part as "unrealized" and performed no work. The same repair order also listed recall 26v034000 (manufacturer campaign 292, third row fmvss 226 ejection mitigation), and that repair was not performed either. The repair order was left in pre-invoice status with no labor or parts, and the odometer moved one mile between check-in and check-out. As of August 2026 both recalls still show recall incomplete on the NHTSA VIN lookup. The seat belt recall has been unrepairable on this vehicle for approximately five months. The manufacturer's national consumer affairs office stated in writing on four separate dates in June and July 2026 that the dealership had confirmed the parts were available and that we only needed to schedule an appointment. We scheduled and attended an appointment on the date they instructed, and the part was not there. We then contacted three separate dealerships independently; none had the seat belt buckle part in stock, and each stated it remains on back order with no availability date. The manufacturer has declined to repurchase the vehicle or otherwise resolve the matter. The vehicle is used to transport young children in the second and third rows. It has been driven very little since March 2026 because the family does not consider it safe to rely on with an unrepaired seat belt recall. No crash or injury has occurred. The concern is that a federally mandated safety remedy has been unavailable for months while the manufacturer represents that it is available.

This is in relation to the recall 25v607000 issued September 19, 2025. My and my children's safety has been put at risk by Hyundai's failure to obtain replacement parts to fix this recall. They have no date expected for the requisite parts, and I am driving with the anxiety that the seatbelts could malfunction at any time and endanger me and my family.

The contact owns a 2021 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the front row and second row seat belt buckles independently unlatched. The failure occurred on several different occasions. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 25v607000 (seat belts) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. A dealer was contacted and confirmed that the remedy for the recall was not yet available. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

Following a recall repair on the rear seatbelt assembly of a 2023 Hyundai Palisade, a severe safety design defect was discovered. The replacement buckle installed by the dealer lacks proper flexibility and clearance. Consequently, when the second-row seats are folded down, the seat frame directly crushes and structurally damages the rigid plastic buckle, as the component cannot clear its designated protective slot. This issue presents an extreme safety risk. The second-row seatbelt buckle is now cracked, crushed, and structurally compromised, rendering the restraint system unsafe and unusable for rear-seat passengers, including my young children. In the event of a collision, a structurally damaged buckle could fail to hold, leading to severe injury or ejection. There were no warning lamps or symptoms prior to failure; the damage was only discovered after folding the second-row seats down. The failure is 100% reproducible every time the seat is folded due to the geometry and lack of movement in the installed recall component. The vehicle was brought to an authorized dealership service center, where the damaged component was physically present and inspected. While the dealer confirmed the buckle is physically crushed and left the service order open, both the dealership and manufacturer customer support have refused to correct the installation or replace the damaged safety part under warranty, falsely claiming normal wear and tear. The vehicle is available for immediate inspection upon request. This complaint is being filed because a manufacturer safety recall repair directly caused a vital restraint system to self-destruct during normal vehicle operation (folding seats), and the manufacturer is refusing to remedy the compromised safety equipment.

I am reporting a severe, life-threatening mechanical component failure of the front passenger seatbelt assembly on a 2021 Hyundai Palisade. While the vehicle was completely parked, stationary, turned off, and with the ignition keys removed, the front passenger seatbelt experienced a catastrophic static lockup. The occupant had reclined the seat, and the seatbelt accidentally became wrapped around their neck. The seatbelt was never inserted into its buckle receptacle, and the webbing was never fully pulled out to its maximum extension to intentionally engage the automatic locking retractor (alr) mode. Despite no rapid deceleration, extreme cabin angles, or full extension, the retractor assembly falsely engaged a permanent, one-way ratcheting lock. With every minor movement or breath by the occupant, the mechanism tightened further around their neck and completely refused to release tension. Because the physical obstruction of the occupant's body prevented the belt from retracting fully into the b-pillar to reset the mechanism, the occupant was actively choking. Time became critical, and the decision was made to physically cut the seatbelt webbing to prevent imminent asphyxiation. Because this life-threatening locking loop was triggered by a mechanical failure of a primary safety component—systemically linked to active safety recalls on this vehicle's pretensioner/seatbelt system—I am requesting a formal safety investigation. I demand that Hyundai motor America issue a corporate variance to fully replace this cut seatbelt assembly at no cost. The failed physical components have been preserved for engineering inspection.

Nhtsa recall number 25v-607. I've been trying to have this recall service performed but have been notified since November 2025 the parts are on backorder. Was scheduled to have the recall service performed today and upon arrival was informed that the parts were not available after being told that the parts were in?????? 6 months is a reasonable amount of time to has this performed, why is Hyundai slow walking this safety issue?.

We were traveling on xxx near xxx at 60 mph (speed limit 70 mph but it was raining). The vehicle in front of us abruptly stopped due to a rear crash causing the chain of vehicles behind to brake suddenly. I had to hard brake - the emergency collision warning turned on but at the same time - the 2nd row driver side passenger's seat belt automatically released putting the occupant in danger.

I was driving my vehicle on 5/24/26 and my daughter’s seatbelt came unlatched while driving. The sensor went off and she was quickly able to belt it back. However, I do not feel safe transporting my children in this vehicle and do not have extra seats due to the third row recall as well.

I have taken my car to jerry v’s honolulu, and tony’s Hyundai here on oahu, neither dealership has been able to remedy this issue with my seatbelts. The recall has been out for a while and they cannot seam to get a part in stock. My seatbelts are not always locking, and this is an extreme safety issue. If I got I a wreck and it didn’t lock on the slip, I could fly out of the vehicle, or my child could. I am an active duty military member as well. I spend so much on this car a month and getting this fixed should be easily remedied.

They are failing to repair the recall from the seat belts. The new estimate is September 2026 and I am waiting for this recall since last year 2025.

[xxx] old child pulled the seat belt out farther than necessary, creating slack. The seatbelt got twisted and it won't retract into the trim. We tried tugging, trying to unfold the ripple at the trim and we tried folding the belt into a triangle, pushing it back in to re-engage the pulls but it did not work. We now have no seatbelt for the 2nd row passenger side. The belt is extended and will not retract. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Drive seat seatbelt unbuckles when driving. This has happened in the past lets say like every few months. In the month of April it happened twice in 1 week and the following week 5/2/26 1 time. This is a huge safety risk. Last time our vehicle went in for an oil change- dealership said there is no fix for this at this time. I filed a complaint with Hyundai xxx 5/3/26 after happened the day before. Because this vehicle’s restraint system may be unsafe to operate, I am requesting that Hyundai provide a loaner or alternate transportation until the defect is properly diagnosed and repaired. If Hyundai is unable to promptly and permanently correct this safety defect, I expect Hyundai to discuss further remedies, including vehicle replacement, repurchase, reimbursement of expenses, or other appropriate compensation. We have not received a call when it stated within one business day. I sent another email requesting assistance without resolution.

To whom it may concern: I am submitting this complaint regarding a serious and ongoing safety defect involving the second-row driver-side seat belt in my Hyundai Palisade. I purchased this vehicle new on December 11, 2025, after being informed that the applicable seat belt recall repair had already been completed by the dealership on December 4, 2025. Despite the recall repair being performed prior to sale, the second-row driver-side seat belt continues to malfunction. On multiple occasions while the vehicle has been in motion, the seat belt has unexpectedly unlatched on its own while occupied by a passenger. This creates a severe safety hazard and leaves the passenger completely unprotected during travel. The issue has occurred repeatedly and has made the second-row driver-side seat unsafe to use. This defect is especially concerning because the vehicle was sold as repaired and safe following completion of the recall campaign. The continued failure of the seat belt system raises concerns that the recall remedy may be ineffective or incomplete. I am requesting that Hyundai motor America and the national highway traffic safety administration investigate this matter immediately. I also request that Hyundai provide a permanent repair solution and determine whether additional Hyundai Palisade vehicles may still be experiencing similar seat belt latch failures even after recall service has been completed. Vehicle information: •year/model: Hyundai Palisade •VIN: [xxx] •purchase date: [xxx] •recall repair completion date: December 4, 2025 •selling dealer: holler Hyundai 1150 n orlando Ave winter park FL 32789 •current mileage: 8,169 I am extremely concerned about the safety of my passengers and believe this defect presents a significant risk of injury in the event of sudden braking or a collision. Please contact me regarding next steps and investigation of this matter. Sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

My vehicle is subject to recall 292 (NHTSA 24v-034). Hyundai has admitted in writing that this vehicle violates federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) no. 226 because the third-row side curtain airbags fail to meet ejection mitigation requirements. ?I routinely transport minor children in the third row. Hyundai's official notice confirms this defect increases the risk of injury or death to occupants in this row during a rollover. ?despite this life-threatening safety risk and the fact that there is no available remedy, Hyundai national consumer affairs (case #xxx) has denied my request for a repurchase. They are citing the vehicle's mileage as a reason for denial, effectively forcing me to continue transporting my children in a vehicle that is federally non-compliant and admitted to be unsafe in a collision.
