Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“After 20z4 fuel pump flange recall was done I noticed a rattle and strong gasoline smell. Tilted up rear seat and discovered seat bolts not tightened and missing. Rear seats have to be removed to access top of fuel tank to replace cracked flange and apply foil to flange if not cracked. Seat bolts and safety belt bolts are supposed to be replaced with new bolts with loctite; not reused. The 20z4 recall should require new seat bolts to be installed when the seats are re-installed.”
