2011 Hyundai Sonata seat belts problems

“On September 24, 2026, I brought my vehicle to Kelly Hyundai Service Center for two recall repairs: IBU/BCM Anti-Theft Software Upgrade and Decal Application Anti-Theft Ignition Cylinder Protector and Decal Installation My vehicle was at the dealership all day. At the end of the day, I received a call from the technician advising me that the recall work could not be completed due to an electrical issue. When I returned home, I immediately noticed several problems that did not exist prior to the service appointment. Specifically: The high beams no longer worked. The dashboard illumination was not functioning properly. The automatic door lock system stopped working. The trunk could only be opened with the key. I contacted the service center and was informed that the only way they could determine the cause of these issues was for me to bring the vehicle back and pay a $200 diagnostic fee. I explained that I did not believe I should be charged to diagnose problems that appeared immediately after their attempted recall repair.
