Drivers chest seat belt is loose and the sensor in the seat belt you snap and lock it in place makes the "air bag" light for the driver only come on. I've had it diagnosed and checked by a licensed mechanic, and was told the seat belt is defected, and currently, as long as the "air bag" light remains on, even if they turned it off, the drivers air bag would not deploy if impacted hard enough in vehicle collision. The air bag is okay and in working condition, its the sensors in the seat belts in the driver's seat that are out of date. The "red light" remains on from the time I start the vehicle and its in park, idling, moving, up until we are back idling, and the engine is off.

Hyundai santa fe 2005. Air bag light remained on. Took car into dealership a few months later to diagnose. Said it was seat belt buckle and will cost $559 to repair. Car has 120,000 miles. There appear to be many similar complaints. As this is a safety issue, why has there not been a recall?

I purchased the vehicle used march 2014. The back passenger seat belt from the beginning is finicky. Sometimes it would click and lock and sometimes it never engages. Because of this we decided to just not use that seat. We thought maybe it just needed replaced. Now, yesterday, the middle seat belt came undone while my child was strapped into his car seat. I was going from a stop and turning into the grocery store. My son's seat fell on it's side. I don't know how long it had actually been undone at that point. I tried strapping it back and it will not engage. Now I have 2 seat belts in the back that do not work. I understand maybe one going bad but two seems like an issue with the seat belts in general. I have 3 children and now I can't use the vehicle because I can only use seat belt for 1 of them (the oldest sits in the front (she is a teenager).
