“There are supposed to be 2 bolts on the back of the driver's side seat. 1 close to the door and one next to the console. I looked and noticed that there was no bolt in the machined hole closest to the rear of the center console. I noticed this while the car was stationary, while I was vacuuming the floor.”
NHTSA complaint #11329124, filed 2020-06“One of the 2 rear bolts that bolt the rear of the driver's seat to car floor is missing. I noticed this when I was vacuuming the car out. The seat is only bolted a 3 points and is a major security issue.”
