2020 Hyundai Venue Seat belts Problems

I have two serious complaints about this vehicle. I am 5 ft 2 in tall. The seatbelt consistently slides across my neck causing distraction while driving. One would think that manufacturers would have figured this out by now. Almost all vehicles do this to anyone under 5ft 3in tall. Can’t tell me that when they add expensive sensors the seatbelt adjustment would be all that expensive to fix. Also- I have three grandchildren two in car seats one rear facing. It is not safe for me to travel with all three in the backseat. If I’m sideswiped the older child will have broken hips there is simply not enough room. And when we put the rear facing in the back seat the passenger in front has to push up so far their knees are in the dash. Can we say”how about I eat that airbag?”

There’s an audible alert to fasten the seat belt for the passenger; the passenger is already secure. The original battery also has to be replaced on February 22, 2022 at 66,326 miles. The replacement has been failing for the past three months at around 122,000 miles. The battery must be jumped every time the car is turned off, even after commuting more than 30 minutes and with chargers unplugged. The battery is hard to find on the market for replacement.

Driver Seat belt Sensors alarm when fastened. Passenger seat belt alarms with any item on seat. Also tire pressure light remained on after a general service check up.. I was given a 2 month wait appointment to have light turned off. It remained on until unexplained break down where it was towed to Koppel hyundai. Also after vacuum of Inside triggers seat belt alarm even when fastened. Koppel is offended with the tone I have used and deliberately schedules months ahead. when I explain I couldn't take appointments so far out due to work and family obligations. Repeated reports claim could not duplicate. I managed to video seat belt malfunctions and called them. They did not respond to messages or emails. Until I Contacted cooperate for the 3 or more time. They encouraged Koppel to give another repair attempt date 2 months wait. They had my car overnight twice and requested a 3rd unknown number of days. I decided to have my car serviced in staten island on date posted on car windshield during last maintenance. Mechanic said to much oil was in car. And that my oil was not due until 22 or 240000 miles. I called for them to drain and received again 2 months wait appointment even with knowledge they made the error. Hyundai koeppel said that they changed maintenance service from 12000 miles to half. Without my knowledge. After the car shut down and was towed. Representatives attempted to have me sign another repair which said couldn't be duplicated. The tow person had to open shift lock release to load vehicle. I refused and signed for horns replacement only. I have become overwhelmed with this particular hyundai and intend to have staten island evaluate at 220000 miles.
