Nhtsa recall: 17v365000 i have never been contacted by hyundai regarding seat belt anchor issue. i purchased the vehicle july 2017 and was not informed by the company selling the vehicle (byers auto group, columbus ohio) or the manufacturer of this recall. if there is a problem with seat belt anchor this needs fixed asap.
The 2017 hyundai santa fe sport seat belts do not retract . they jammed in the doors and have ripped the rubbers on the doors and do not retract back when getting out of vehicle. . also in an emergency braking situation the seat belts do not lock up. suspension is lousy and it feels as if it has no suspension. i was told by hyundai's zone rep randy 1-800-633-5151 on september 26th 2017 three more complaints of this situation have been reported. my local hyundai dealer feels for $250 a month this is as good as it gets and i should accept the vehicle with its faulty seat belts. vehicle has been looked at at my local hyundai dealer since september 18th 2017 and was notified in august of 2017... .updated 11/09/17 *bf updated 7/20/18*jb *tr
