Consumer Description

My seatbelt has been releasing on its own. Every time I get in the car, I make sure to firmly press the seatbelt into the latch and then pull on it to make sure it is secure. However, it still releases after 15-30 minutes of driving. I'm worried that in the event of an accident, the seatbelt would not stay buckled and I could be injured or ejected from the vehicle. Others have had the same issue (https://www.carproblemzoo.com/hyundai/accent/seat-belt-problems.php). The seatbelt and latch are still intact in my car, so they would be available for inspection if needed.
