“On the 18th of mar 2001, after filling up my gas tank, I got in my vehicle attempted to put my seat belt on and ended up lying flat on my back. As luck would have no kids were sitting behind me. A single grade 8 bolt broke. A few years back when this vehicle had about 100k on it the same thing happened. At that time the dealer (performance chevy in sacramento ca) told me there was a campain to replace the bolts from grade 5 to grade 8. Apparently the grade 5 lasted longer than the grade 8. …”
