This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH the seat belt on the third-row passenger-??s side unlatched without warning. The contact attempted to insert the tongue into the buckle, however, the seat belt failed to latch securely. The dealer was contacted but the vehicle was not diagnosed. The contact stated that the front passenger-??s seat belt latch was previously replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 18,200.
In the passenger side second row captain seat, our son who is in a high back booster seat has buckled his seatbelt. We had heard the click. The seatbelt warning light has indicated the seat belt was buckled. About an hour into the ride we hear the warning bell that a seatbelt has been unbuckled. He had not unbuckled it or touched it. It just undid itself. Was it not fully locked to begin with " Would it have come out if we had gotten into an accident??? Why was there no warning light if it was indeed not fully locked" This has happened twice now and concerned if the seatbelts are reliable. The most recent time occurring this past week, 2/10/23
Multiple times while I am driving the drivers seatbelt comes unmatched. This does not happen during a specific time like hard breaking. It just randomly comes out and the alarms start going off. It has occurred 3 times in the last 2 months. They are unable to fix the problem for 3 weeks
Our vehicle has captain seats in the middle row. The seat buckles are so far recessed it's ALWAYS difficult to buckle, especially when using car seats or boosters. Our children, nearly 9 and 7 years old who had no difficulties buckling before, are unable to buckle themselves with their boosters now. Additionally, and even more concerning, is that the seat belt will "click" as if it's been buckled but come unbuckled partially through the drive. I have found I have to get two clicks and/or yank on the buckle to ensure it's all the way in. But for children it's confusing as they're unsure if they've buckled correctly. A Hyundai dealer inspected it and stated it as a known problem but that there's nothing that can currently be fixed about it. However, I worry if in an accident the seat belt may actually come undone as it's not all the way in most of the time.
