| Description of the problem | I have taken this vehicle to the dealership on (6) different occasions for the driver/passenger seat buckle retensioner. During warranty years the dealership fixed the problem, . Now its been (2) times there-after & yet again i'm being told its the (rh) buckle retensioner. This is an safety concern that the dealership/ hyundai corporate office is "not" addressing. How can a corporation expect the consumer to keep paying for a problem that continue to appear. There are numerous complaints on the web site regarding this matter. I have submitted a letter to the corporate office years back & i will yet submit another. |
