2021 Hyundai Palisade Seat Belts Problems

Whenever I’m getting in my car and I’m trying to start it sometimes I will move just a little bit in my seat and my seatbelt will come out of the seatbelt assembly and then my car will automatically put on the emergency brake. This has happened on multiple occasions for my seatbelt will just pop out of the latch without me pushing on the button.

My car seatbelt has been coming undone for years- since I bought the car brand new. I immediately reported to Hyundai. They cleaned it and claimed it’s fixed.

Drivers side seatbelt doesn’t retract correctly when released. Often gets stuck and jammed in the car door.

The second row seat belt on just one of the seats has done the following: it takes multiple attempts to get it to latch, it will "click" latched and then release shortly thereafter, or it will just release for no reason after being latched for several minutes. Reading online, it appears this is happening to a lot of other Palisade users as well.

While driving the vehicle the second row seat belts, after being buckled for the duration of travel, would randomly come unlatched/unbuckled. This left the passengers restrained by those seatbelts unprotected and leave the owner with no confidence that the seatnelts would hold in an accident situation. It has happened on both sides of the vehicle in the second row seats.

I am having problems with the seatbelt buckles in the second and third row seats, either not buckling to begin with (the seatbelt will not latch), or the seatbelt spontaneously unbuckles while I am driving. It is an intermittent problem, the seatbelts sometimes work but sometimes don't work.

The passenger seat belt will spontaneously unbuckle without warning or cause. This puts the passenger safety at risk in case there were a crash. The problem hasn't been repaired by a dealer but it's happened about 4 or 5 times.

The passenger side seat belt in the 2nd row repeatedly becomes unbuckled once driving. This has happened with adults and children sitting the the seat and has happened over an extended period of time. This is a major safety issue if it were to unlock during an accident.

The second row seat belt is weak and unbuckles suddenly. My child's seatbelt will unclick spontaneously after driving. It is a hassle to click when putting seatbelt on.

The buckles in the captains chairs are recessed into the seat and the tongue is angled. It is incredibly difficult for an older person to properly buckle themselves in, and especially difficult to buckle the seat belt when using a booster seat. It has taken 5 minutes on several occasions to get it in correctly.

Driver’s and Front Passenger’s seat belt disengage randomly while driving. Even if you hear the click, the seat belt alarm silences, and you check it multiple times with force to ensure it is latched, it will pop loose later while the car is in motion.

Recall for safety seat belts not repaired in a timely manner. It’s been 2.5 months, I called the first time after one month to see how much longer for the parts to come in and was basically told it is what it is, most people wait over 2 months, that was in January. It is now March and still no repairs done.

The middle row outside seat belts have both not latched when trying to buckle and have come unlatched after buckling and latching. This has happened multiple times on both sides and while the vehicle is in motion. The problem has been reported to a local Hyundai service department but since no remedy has been produced yet, they have not been replaced which makes those seats unusable.

The seatbelt sensor kept going off even though seatbelt appears to be buckled. Dealership identified that seatbelt buckle was not operating correctly and not clicking all the way. This put my kids unknowingly at risk.

The seat belt buckle in the 2nd row and 3rd row seats are too low and put a high back booster and occupants at risk.

It’s extremely hard to determine if the seat belt latches correctly into the buckle because no click noise is heard.

Second row passenger side seat belt would come undone while driving. This would usually happen while under pressure rounding corners. Addressed with dealership during routine maintenance.

The seat belt in the 2nd row where my child sits, comes unlatched while driving. Happened in the driver seat as well. This is a major safety concern given they come unlatched without pressure.

On several occasions, between 15-25, one seatbelt (2nd row behind driver) unlatches randomly. We know it’s not because of the user. It will latch (and we know it’s latched because it clicks and there’s no seatbelt warning), but while driving it will unlatch for no apparent reason.

Our seatbelts all throughout the vehicle keep randomly coming undone which is causing anxiety and stress to hurry and fix the problem while on the freeway, especially with the young children still in boosters that need assistance.

The rear captain's chair seat belt on the driver's side of the vehicle does not latch properly.

When locking in the seat belt it will click and lock and a few seconds later will unlock. 4 of the seats are doing this, including the front seats and once the seatbelt pops out, unlocking we are usually driving down the road and its dangerous to try and pull over and get it locked in place again just for it to unlock a few minutes later.

2nd row captains chair seatbelts are very hard to click together. The receiving end of the seat belt is recessed very far into the chair, that it's hard to get the belt portion to click into place.

Buckle is recessed too far into the seat to properly buckle the seat belt. Resulting in seat belt not fully buckling and coming undone while vehicle is in motion of when sudden stops are made.

The 2nd row captains chair's seatbelts are recessed so far into the seat that it is difficult to buckle. The male part of the seatbelt also has a bend/angle that requires you to push the receiver end to the side to get the right angle to buckle. It does not go straight in.

I purchased my car two days ago. I have 6 year old twins in high back booster seats in the 2nd row. We cannot get the seat belts to buckle.

This is a brand new car but the seatbelts in the 2nd row captains chairs are nearly impossible to buckle in. My children have to spend about 5 minutes attempting and then I usually have to do it. The seatbelts are wedged too far into the seat and at a weird angle.
