2023 HYUNDAI PALISADE — Complaint #2157833
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SEAT BELTS filed December 16, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2157833 (ODI reference 11705381) concerns a 2023 HYUNDAI PALISADE and was filed on December 16, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on October 1, 2025. The report was geocoded to Colorado based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as seat belts, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HYUNDAI PALISADE cohort independently describe similar seat belts failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2023 HYUNDAI PALISADE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
I am filing a formal safety complaint regarding an open safety recall involving the rear seatbelts in my 2023 Hyundai Palisade. One of the rear seatbelts will not latch at all, despite following all manufacturer-recommended troubleshooting steps. This defect directly impacts child passenger safety. I have two young children who use forward-facing car seats that require a functional vehicle seatbelt. Because the seatbelt does not latch, I am unable to safely install a forward-facing car seat in this position. Hyundai has issued a recall but states that no remedy or repair will be available until January, leaving my family without a safe seating position for my child for several months. The dealership has provided no interim solution, loaner vehicle, or alternative safety accommodation. The dealership informed us yesterday that they don't anticipate getting the part until February or March. We are facing long-distance holiday travel, and I am deeply concerned about the risk of injury
