| Description of the problem | The rear passenger seat belt of my 2007 hyundai santa fe at times does not work because the receptor slides down deep into the pocket and is impossible for me to retrieve. This has happened three times and i took it to the dealership twice and was told it was a design defect and they could not do anything because federal regulations prohibited them. We were coming home two weeks ago and my friend could not buckle up and we were traveling 60mph and i was nervous. The manager placed a styrofoam piece in the slit and said he hoped it worked. Have you had any other complaints? |
