It won't shut off even when you buckle the seat belt. Head lights are not addiquit for lighting the roadway at night and makes it difficult to see while driving at night. I need the high beams on to see normally”
NHTSA complaint #11405807, filed 2021-03, 6 miles“Seat belt sensor activates with very little weight in the seat (less than 10 lbs) the alarms continues to go off even when the seat is empty. This has happened several times in the last few weeks”
NHTSA complaint #11288308, filed 2019-12, 28,000 miles“I hit a small center divider in a parking structure going about 1 MPH which hit under the car. The three front airbags deployed. There is no body damage to the front of the car so I don’t think that the airbags should have deployed. My local dealership can’t fix it and I have reached out to Hyundai USA and they are not responding.”
NHTSA complaint #11493204, filed 2022-11“The driver side seatbelt is pulled out and will not retract. Our safety is at risk every time we drive this vehicle as the seatbelt won't protect the driver from being flung into other passengers or prevent from being flung out of the vehicle. This issue has been confirmed by Walser Hyundai in Brooklyn Park, MN on 11/7/23. There were no warning signs of the issue except for seat belt seeming to retract slow for the last5/1/ couple years.”
