October 29, 2026Seat Belts

I recently noticed a malfunction with the front passenger seatbelt buckle in my 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz at approximately 48,000 miles. After unbuckling, the red release button would remain stuck in the depressed position. This prevented the seatbelt tongue from being inserted and latched again. Tapping the buckle several times allowed the button to return to its normal position, after which the seatbelt could be fastened. I brought the vehicle to a Hyundai dealership on October 29, 2026. The dealership told me the issue involved a spring and could be corrected by cleaning the buckle. They performed the repair. I was told it was not covered under warranty because it could be repaired and ther

On [XXX], while I was travelling South on [XXX] in Washington, while towing. My Emergency Brake/Forward Collision Avoidance system activated. Very briefly but enough to give me a shock. There was no reason for this to be activated, traffic was moving along, no one was closely in front of me, fortunately no one was right behind me. I discovered upon returning home that there was just issued a recall for this reason on 2025-2026 Santa Cruz vehicles. Mine is a 2024.

May 4, 2026Lane Departure

My issue is that the lane keeping system was much too sensitive. I would be riding at highway speeds and the car would pull suddenly to the right or left. This was an intermittent problem but when I took it in wanting an adjustment to the system to make it less sensitive, I was told that they were unable to address the system-not allowed to make any adjustments, which I found to be strange. I asked to speak to the service manager and waited to speak with him. The service advisor came back to me, gave me my keys and said it was now fixed. I asked what they did and was told that they disabled it and offered NO PAPERWORK. I reached out to Hyundai corporate and was told that they don't get invol
