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.

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 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!

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.

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.
