problem #4

Genesis

Passenger airbag light is always illuminated, with or without someone in the seat. Called the dealer and they told me that they 'put a seatbelt label on, ' and that I can pay $145 for the diagnosis.

problem #3

Genesis 6-cyl

Rear left and center inboard female seat belt buckles are reversed. This prevents use of the center belt when the left outboard seat belt is buckled as the belt covers the inboard center buckle. Need dealer recall to fix problem and have Hyundai recognize their problem.

problem #2

Genesis 6-cyl

The rear center seat belt anchor and the left seat belt anchor are reversed. When one passenger fastens their seat belt it covers the anchor point for the other passenger. The only way to connect both is to twist the seat belts across each other. In the event of an accident, the applied forces would not be in line with the seat belt anchor points and would most likely not conform to the intended designs parameters. This also causes the seat belts to go across my grand childrens necks when they are in the back seat in their booster seats which would cause them serious harm in a accident. The Hyundai dealer has looked at the problem and agrees that the anchor points are backwards but they said that it cannot be reversed due to the way the car is designed.
