The buckles on two of the rear seatbelts have cut through the belt horizontally - guessing from friction. I was not aware until a passenger in my back seat pointed it out to me, and it had happened on two of the three belts.

Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I had a rear tire blowout causing the car to stop rapidly causing me to hit my face on the steering wheel so hard I got knocked out . My foot pressed on the gas and I hit a parked car. And my airbags never deployed. Insurance didn't pay my claim because it wasy falt I hit a parked car. Because I was knocked out. I don't remember anything about 30 seconds before the accident. Had my airbags worked maybe I could have remembered what really happened. When the collusion center inspected my car they said a defect in the car was the cause of my accident. But the insurance already denied the claim. The yellow tab was the airbag sensor
After starting car i tried to put the driver left side seatbelt on. It seemed to be stuck and would not budge after trying to pull over me. I noticed other people who owned Hyundai cars same year also had the same trouble. When I called the dealership they gave me a quote of $500. Not only does is this a safety hazard but fraudulent as well. Hyundai Corporation sent me a letter stating it was not a lemon. I never said it was. But it is defective and should be recalled!
I have only had this car for three months. Two weeks ago the Air Bag light OFF kept appearing while driving. Then 3 days ago the driver side seat belt locked. It will NOT release. I have read a lot of forums from many others with the same problem from Hyundai cars. The dealership charges 500-1500$ just to fix 1 seatbelt. Its a safety problem as well as fraud.
When I start my car the engine ticks I believe it's supposed to be a piston issue also my seatbelts don't properly secure I have to use excessive force to buckle it
Air bag light wont go off... And seat belt fell out of the adjuster
On engine start up, the air bag warning light was activated indicating failure with either the airbag or supplement restraint system. Dealer diagnostics indicated the "clockspring" part had failed. This part has failed often enough that hyundai has extended warranty on "some models of 2011-2014" elantra, but not the model of my car even though it is the same part that is on all 2011-2014 elantra models. Should it fail while the vehicle is moving, then the driver's airbag may not deploy during an accident or the supplement restraint system may not work. The "clockspring" part connects to the speed control system.
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.
Takata recalls. My radio bluetooth doesn't work nor does the USB. I'm constantly having to change rear lightbulbs. When my car reaches a certain speed it starts to shake. My tire sensor put a hole in my tire. My seat belts will not connect. I'm just had to change the alternator. And the engine makes a ticking sound.
Takata recall the drovers side seat belt pops out. It will be in, locked and as I'm driving down the road it will just release. It has been happening more and more.
