| Seat Belt problems |
The driver's door handle does not work. The buckle assembly for the driver's seat belt has a stuck button and no longer works properly.
I purchased a 2008 Hyundai Veracruz in 2014. I was taking a friend home and as I was pulling in all lights lit up and car just shuts off. I couldn't get the car to do anything. I had the car towed. My windshield wipers doesn't work, door handles are all broken, seat belts doesn't work, alternator has been change 3 times due to oil leakage,no radio, the rpm's goes up and down and trunk won't open.
Second row, driver side seatbelt jammed, unable to losen it to the point it is ruining the leather seat. Told by the dealer where I purchased the vehicle the retractor would need to be replaced due to there being a defect.
Battery warning light on, seat belt light flashing. Had to turn off all electrical components (ac, fan, radio, lights, . . . ) and rushed to the dealership. Replaced the alternator at the dealership, where I was told there's a design flaw with oil dripping on the alternator and causing premature failure. I believe such a failure, which would've disabled the car, is definitely a safety hazard under not-so-uncommon conditions, such as at night, in a remote area or unsafe neighborhood. From online research, it will happen again with the replaced alternator since the root cause is not addressed, when in most other cars, the alternator would still be the original.
The driver's side seat belt locked and cannot be released so that it can be used by the driver. Thus I am driving without a seat belt and listening to the constant ping of the reminder. The dealer says the entire mechanism must be replaced and the cost is nearly $600. While I note that there have been numerous other incidents reported on line, there has been no recall and this is not covered under the original or extended warranty.
I gave my son a ride to the airport, he put his child car seat in the rear back seat. When we got to the airport and went to take the carseat out to take it on the airplane. The release would not work. After 15 minutes or trying to get the seatbelt off and the police telling me I cannot stay there any longer we cut the belt. I have not contacted the dealer yet but will this week.
