My car just turned off. While I was driving under 15 miles, it turned off, this has happened 3!times since I got the car. The seatbelt in the 2nd row behind the passenger seat sometimes doesn't want to lock. The dealership said that they weren't able to recreate the problems so there's nothing that they could do about it. I spoke to their corporate office and sent emails and no one can fix the issues.

I bought the car new in puerto rico. After hurricane maria I moved to florida. I tried to get my car service for two recalls here in florida. They tried to get in contact with puerto rico in order to get paid for the repairs. I also called them and they told me to write them a letter asking to register the car here. They have not answer any of my four request. What can we do?.

Air bag warning light remained on after initial startup display. Code reader indicated b1511 code, short between driver side seat belt buckle and battery. Further evaluation demonstrated that seat belt warning light did not display at all, whether belt was buckled or unbuckled. Internet research suggests that this fault may prevent air bag from functioning in the event of an accident. To evaluate further, airbag warning light was reset to check for recurrence. Code recurred. It was noted that code could be prevented and seat belt warning light would display properly if the driver seat belt buckle was pressed downward and slightly toward the driver. This was consistent with observation that following a reset, air bag light recurred when vehicle turned left, causing driver to shift against buckle. Intermittent failure of seat belt light was observed while vehicle was parked and also moving slowly. Driver is unwilling to remove seat belt during highway driving to evaluate further. Hyundai motor America has denied responsibility for repair of this safety issue. Internet searches indicate that this is not an isolated occurrence, and further that there have been recalls on vehicles built on the same or similar platform.

Recently we could not undo the seatbelt that our 6 year old grandson was strapped in. The more tried to extend it to release the tension the tighter it became. My grandson was being crushed and was screaming. The vehicle was not running and was parked in the driveway. I had to run into the garage and get a pair of scissors and cut the seatbelt to get him out. To replace the seatbelt is going to cost over $400 and the dealer will not pay for it as they said it was our fault.

I was involved in an accident while driving down a city street in plano, texas. A truck pulled out to get into the middle lane and was caught off and forced to pull into my lane directly in front of me. My brakes locked up after trying to stop, which isn't a problem because I know it is normal. What occurred was that as I struck the truck in front of me, my air bags didn't deploy, and my seat belt had failed to lock. Which caused me to collide with the steering wheel. The speed I struck the truck, which was going about 10 mph when we collided, was about 45 mph.

The passenger seat belt warning chime is inoperable. Only the dashboard light operates. This occurs when the vehicle is moving with a passenger on board who has not buckled up with the seat belt.

On 9/26/2017 at 3:55 p. M. I was involved in a single car rollover accident. I was traveling on hwy 97 in California at approximately 55-60 mph. No more than 10 miles outside the city of weed. I hit something in the road or blew a tire. The car first went left and then right. The breaks felt as though they locked. When the car hit an asphalt curb it went airborne (there were no guard rails) and went into a small embankment. The vehicle rolled but landed upright. None of the airbags deployed. I also believe the seatbelt did not lock as it is supposed to when a crash occurs. I say that because the right side my head hit the roof of the vehicle and I received a large hematoma. Initially I thought it was because the roof had caved in. When I saw the vehicle the next day it was the left side of the roof that had caved in. What also makes me believe there is a seatbelt issue is I was involved in a rollover in 1985 and did not suffer any head injuries as the seat belt kept me tightly in the seat.

On my 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe limited, he audible seat belt alarm does not sound if the person in the front passenger seat is not wearing his/her seat belt. There was a recall for this very problem on the 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe sport (#141), but not for the full sized Santa Fe (which I have). When I called Hyundai they told me that I would have to pay for the repairs!.

Hyundai Santa Fe 2005. Air bag light remained on. Took car into dealership a few months later to diagnose. Said it was seat belt buckle and will cost $559 to repair. Car has 120,000 miles. There appear to be many similar complaints. As this is a safety issue, why has there not been a recall?.

Driver and passenger front seat belt buckles have become very difficult to open. Hyundai dealership agreed that the seat belts should be replaced, however Hyundai did not agree to paying for replacement. I believe that the seat belt buckles are defective and a safety hazard. I think that they are defective for having failed when the vehicle is still below 60,000 miles. I think that they are a safety hazard because if we were in an accident, I am not sure whether we could get out of the vehicle. Bbb would not take our case in arbitration since the vehicle is out of the 5 year auto manufacturer bump-to-bumper warranty. I believe that Hyundai should reimburse us for the replacement of our seat belts.

Air bag light will not go out. I have reset the alarm code and in it just comes back when someone sits in the passengers seat. This is an issue with a lot of Hyundai sante fe's.

Please note that my air bag sensor light for the passenger front seat is on and I have had the light reset more than several times. When driving the light will go on again and again. I have the dealer look at this problem twice and they have reset the light and that did not work. On 4. 26. 2016 the dealer took the seat out and cleaned all of the connections and sealed with connecter sealant. The dealer stated on the bill that if the light comes on again then they will have to order a front seat assembly. The light came back on 4. 26. 2016 three hours later. I drove to work 4. 27. 2016 and the light remained on. My concern is why the consumer has to bear the cost of this safety issue and that my family is in danger because of the safety issue in regards to the air bag issue I am having. I do not think it is fair to the consumer that they have to pay out of pocket to fix something that cannot be fixed and there is not any sort of solution to fix this issue the first time when I tried to get it fixed. The dealer told me that the sensor works fine and they seemed to be confused on how to address this issue the first or second time. There are a lot of forums out on the website like edmunds. Com with Hyundai having the air bag sensor issue. Is this a ploy for Hyundai to force you to buy a new car that is 8 years old and only having 85,080 miles on the car. I am very concerned for the safety of my family and the time and money that I have put in to trying to make my 2007 Santa Fe safe. I hope that the government steps in to help product the consumers before passengers get severely injured or killed because of this safety issue. It appears that this issue from brand new cars and used cars.

I have a 2017 Hyundai sante fe limited ultimate and when a passenger sits in the front passenger seat and does not have there seat belt fastened no audible warning sound alarms telling them to fasten there seat belt. I have gone to a Hyundai dealership and the mechanic told me that the audible alarm only goes off if the driver doesn't have their seat belt fastened. This does not seem right to me they also told me that their is no recall on my vehicle for this problem. I called Hyundai customer service ( 800 633-5151) and they told me the same thing that their is no recall on my vehicle for this problem. Although I did read on the NHTSA website that their was a recall for this problem. I'm getting very frustrated with Hyundai.

I previously put in a complaint about the front passenger seat on my 2017 sante fe. When someone sits in the front passenger seat and does not put there seat belt on no audible warning sound warns them to buckle the seat belt. I see that Hyundai has a fix for the drivers seat audible warning (06-01-013) but no fix for the passenger seat. Hyundai could you please come up fix for the passenger side.
