Front passenger in not able to buckle seat belt. When you try to latch the seat belt into the orange/red clasp holder, the seat belt will not stay locked into place. Now we wait to see if other seat belts become unlocked while driving or while in an accident. We are also down to only having 4 seats available in the car.

Driver door when it is unlocking we cannot open it from the outside. The rear passenger door does not open at all. It hasn't opened in a few months. I don't use the back of the car being as it's just me and my husband.

Seat belt light came on around 137k mike's. Took to get tested at dealership. Said bad seat buckles on drivers and passenger sides. 147 to test it and 500 to fix. Found out the previous owner already replaced buckles 5 years ago. Called hyundai directly and they said they can't do anything about it even though there are hundreds of similar reports online.
