Consumer Description

CAR WOULD NOT START. NOTICED A BURNING SMELL. WHILE RESEARCHING PROBLEMS FOUND A THREAD ON COMMON ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. TURNS OUT THE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL RELAY. CHECKED THE BOX SURE ENOUGH THE RELAY MELTED. THIS WAS UNDER MY SONS CAR SEAT!!!! IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WHY WAS THIS NOT REVIEWED AND RECALLED. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE INJURED OR EVEN DIE? HOW HORRIBLE IS IT THAT A KNOWN ISSUE IS NOT ADDRESSED. AFTER THE RELAY WAS DISCOVERED I ALSO DISCOVER THE FUSE BOX HAS SOME INDENTATIONS. THESE ARE FROM THE SEAT CLAMP.
