The second row seat belts will randomly unbuckle themselves while the car is in motion. As parents this is extremely concerning to us and we are worried about the safety of our children in the event of an accident.
The front passenger seatbelt will randomly release after being securely latched. Has happened at least 20 times. Happens when driving smooth, happens if I slam the brakes. Extremely dangerous and I took to the Hyundai garage and they wouldn-??t do anything to fix it.
Second row seat belts become unlatched randomly while driving. They have been confirmed "clicked in" and tug tested each time. During driving, the seat belt unlatched indicator comes on and we have to pull over and re- latch the belt. Service technicians have been unable to reproduce the problem, likely as they cannot have 3-7 people ride in the car for hours to verify.
My seatbelt (driver) repeatedly and randomly opens. This has occurred on multiple occasions and with different drivers, and occurs even when the seatbelt is entirely buckled/clicked in.
The seatbelts will come unlatched after they have been buckled without notice. It happens to the drivers seatbelt as well as the passenger seatbelt and the seatbelts in the second row. It has been happening for over a year and has happened several times.

Front driver and passenger as well as second row driver and passenger seat belts have spontaneously unbuckled while we are driving- several times. No one was injured but it puts myself and my family at a huge safety risk. We have almost stopped driving it because we fear the belts will not hold up should an accident of some sort happen. There were no warnings before it happened any time. The second row seatbelt warning light did come on after seat belts unbuckled. This has been going on since November 2024.
The buckle on the seatbelts in both the passenger side and behind the passenger side in the 2nd row doesn't latch. Sometimes it takes 4/5 times to click the seatbelt in before it latches. It also will randomly unlatch. VERY unsafe to be always using seatbelts, only to have them not be trusted due to un latching. It happens multiple times a week, and has been going on since Summer 2024.
The front seat belt has unbuckled on it-??s own at multiple occasions, the system does alert of the unbuckling but it is a safety hazard if we get into a car accident. It happens randomly without any warning. We did not get it inspected yet
The seat belt for the second-row passenger seat on the driver side frequently comes unbuckled. This sometimes happens within minutes of buckling it and sometimes over 20 minutes later. My daughter is in a booster seat, and this happens regardless of whether I buckle her in or she buckles herself in. Even when I buckle her in and then pull hard on the belt to check that it is fully buckled, the seat belt still sometimes comes unlatched. The driver seat belt has also come unlatched several times when I am driving, also within minutes or long after I have buckled myself in. Yes, this is available for inspection upon request. My safety and my children's safety is obviously at risk if we cannot trust our seat belts to remain latched. The problem has not yet been inspected, reproduced, or confirmed by any third parties. There are no warning signals prior the belts unbuckling; the "seat belt unbuckled" alarm in the car begins to sound once the belts unbuckle themselves.
Seat belts come unbuckled randomly Has happened multiple times over the past 2 years with drivers seat and second row driver side seat. Switched second row car seat to LATCH install due to safety concern
Rear passenger seat belt has repeatedly unlatched itself while car is in motion. Occurs without anyone pushing the release button. Has happened multiple times.
While driving to work, the seatbelt suddenly unlatched midway through the drive without any pressing of the release button, and nothing close to it that could have pressed on it. This happened while moving (not stopped at a light). The cars seatbelt warning system started beeping to alert that the driver was not buckled.
The contact owns a 2023 Hyundai Palisade. The contact stated that the front passenger-??s side seat belt unintendedly unlatched with an occupant seated in the seat. The contact stated that the alarm sounded as if the seat belt was not being used while the seat was occupied. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 44,000.
Drivers side seatbelt will sporadically, unlatch on its own. No particular conditions seeming involved. Just buckled one moment, and then unbuckled on its own the next.
The driver seat belt only locks sometimes. It also will unlock while driving. This is a safety issue if I'm in an accident I can be thrown from the vehicle. I contacted the dealership and they advised no recall has been attached to my VIN but it is under warranty still so they can fix. When the seat belt unlocks the seat belt light is triggered and the alarm goes off
