| Description of the problem | Recently i got b1513 code with my 2005 hyundai santa fe. I found that many santa fe owner's have been suffering from exact same problem, bad seat belt buckle sensor(s) which seem causing air bag malfunction. It is highly likely that this is caused by hyundai used a bad buckle system and should be recalled. I recently learned that nhtsa is investigating very similar problems (seat belt buckle) in 394000 sonata models. |
