Description of the problem	Since purchasing my car new in 2006, i have had to have the passenger side seat belt buckle replaced twice. First on oct 6, 2010, then on oct 25, 2013. Both times it was related to the air bag light illuminating on the dashboard and staying on consistently. In 2010, i was told it was a faulty seat belt part. Hyundai replaced it under warranty. In 2013, i was again told it was an issue with the same seat belt part, and this time i was charged $164. 31 for the replacement. This week, the air bag light came on again. I can only assume it's, once again, a faulty seat belt buckle. I called the dealership who did the previous repair (davis hyundai in nj) and they said it was only covered under warranty for 12 months.. So i would have to pay for the replacement again. I googled the issue and it seems to be under investigation by your group. It's clearly a safety issue.. I don't think i should have to pay to have it fixed again, and really i think hyundai should reimburse me for the first repair. If they can't figure out how to make a seat belt buckle that functions properly, they have no business making cars. Any help would be hugely appreciated. I planned to go through the bbb as well, but wanted to add to the number of complaints filed. I have records of all previous repairs.
