Description of the problem	I have been having ongoing problems with the front passenger seat belt, since i first noticed that the air bag light was on constantly. This started in sept. 2013, when the mileage was 82000. The scan test found code b1706 (buckle assembly open short). I went to the dealer (autonation hyundai mall of georgia) and i was told the buckle had to be replaced (aprox $280), and it was not covered under the warranty. I told the service rep. That i couldn't afford the repairs at that time, so refused to have the buckle replaced. I don't see what replacing the buckles would do, if there is an open short that is causing them to shorten out. Hyundai currently has a recall for airbag light (issue with the passenger air bag being de-activated). I took my car in to the dealership for the recall today, and they are going to ship the front passenger cushion seat to california to fixed the problem for free. However the issue with the front passenger seat buckle assembly is still not being covered. After reading all the complaints from owners of the 2007 hyundai sonata, for the same issue, how can there not be safety recall regarding this issue? There is no guarantee the airbags will deploy in an accident while this problem exists. Does someone have to be seriously injured or killed before action is taken? Many thanks for your help!
