Description of the problem	A passenger in the back seat went to put on her seatbelt and found that the shoulder harness just came apart making it completely unusable and unsafe. I went to the dealer, fitzgerald hyundai and reported the problem, expecting them to fix it but i was told it was my problem and i would have to pay to have it fixed. I was shocked as i believed that a seat belt malfunction was a safety issue that any dealer would take immediate responsibility for. When i insisted that the i did absolutely nothing to cause the malfunction and the dealership should fix it i was told that they would have to check it out with a higher management level and would get back to me. I have had no follow up from fitzgerald. I followed up twice by email once using their own website form hoping that would get a response, but still nothing. I am now concerned that this issue with the seatbelt may be a problem with other hyundai owners so i am reporting the problem. I do not use my back seat for passengers very often but nevertheless i feel a seatbelt malfunction is a safety concern of high priority and something that a dealer should take care of immediately and there should be no dispute!
