Seat Belt problem

2015 Hyundai Veloster turbo (original owner). The vehicle has three severe safety defects: trunk/hatch latch failure: the hatchback lift support/latch fails, refusing to stay open. It unexpectedly fell, which has caused repeated, severe impacts to my head and neck, resulting in an injury requiring surgery. I must manually prop it open with a Mini ball to load cargo. Engine & turbo failure / oil consumption: history of engine acceleration issues and turbo failures since 4,000 miles. At 44,000 miles, the turbo completely failed, the car started to whine, then rattle, and completely turned off. Dealer (Hyundai escondido) forced a $2,200 out-of-pocket replacement despite being under warranty, citing a lack of at-home oil change receipts. The vehicle now has a documented, rapid oil leak and excessive consumption issue that the dealer refuses to repair, despite being reported prior to warranty expiration. Seat belts: the front and rear seat belt latches are malfunctioning, intermittently releasing on their own, failing to release properly, or failing to latch securely, compromising the safety of a [xxx] passenger. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
