Multifunction box is in the steering column that controls your lights, signals, I put my turn signal on right or left at night and my lights go out,but they come back on.also I have zero warning lights on my dashboard for when something happens it let's you know,well I have none. Hyundai of California says it's not unsafe.it should be a recall because it's a thousand dollars for update..

Drivers side seat belt does not retract properly. If I pull it out a little too far when buckling then it will just hang there instead of retracting snugly so it provides the same amount of safety as having no seat belt on at all.

Front Driver Side Seat Belt does not retract to original position when seat belt unlatched. Also seat belt does not lock into restraint position when brakes are applied and remains loose even when brakes applied heavily during emergency/urgent braking. Dealer said it is not a safety issue, it is a wear issue and owner would have to pay for full replacement.

The front seat belts are not functioning; they do not retract, nor do they lock when quickly pushed. They both do lock into the buckle, but that's it. I checked the recall status for such a problem and found that many years and models of Hyundai Sonata's seatbelts were recalled for exactly this same reason; however, this particular year of Sonata was not, even though it is the same issue.

Seat belts are not retracting properly and are unsafe, not functioning. Dealership refuses to repair the drivers side seat belt which is the worse, for less than $700 this is ridiculous. Many recalls on sonata of prior years regarding seat belts and it needs to be extended to include 2015.
