When I reached back, my seat belt snapped and broke from the connecting point on the floor board. My husband took it on to hyundai and they have stated they are unsure as to why it snapped. My husband went back to get the vehicle and the service tech stated that it still wasn't fixed. He stated that when it was initially fixed and someone sat in the seat and turned it snapped again. Our vehicle is still in the shop waiting to be fixed.
