Description of the problem	I own a 2007 hyundai santa fe suv. The seat belt for the passenger rear seat (40) does not stay up and available to new occupants. It always falls down the seat belt slot and is extremely difficult to retrieve for the passenger. Passenger invariably seat themselves into 60 portion of the seat directly behind the driver. The only way which i have found to retrieve the seat belt and make it available to the passenger in the 40 seat is to lay the seat down at about a 30 degrees. Reach under the seat vary carefully and push the seat belt up from the bottom. This is extremely difficult and with the bolts and unfinished metal on the floor poses a safety hazard in itself. I have taken the vehicle in to the dealer twice and asked about repair or recall and they just kind of laugh when i tell them its a pain and needs fixed. They just say "you and alot of others would like that". It would take a simple fix of putting in a stiff collar like that on most vehicles or a flat sleeve which could keep the belt from receding into the abyss of the vehicle. I would imagine that most passengers in the 40 position do without wearing the belt, and just hold it in the lap. Can you firmly suggest to hyundai to put a permanent fix to this safety issue before someone gets killed for not wearing a seatlbelt which is not available to them because of a manufactures oversight and lack of concern.
