My driver car seat started randomly smoking. It smell like something was about to catch on fire. The car seat got extremely hot. No, I do not have heated seats nor do I have electric seats .
Been waiting for dealers to fix the recalls my car has, they say they will call when they receive parts. Still waiting.
Passengers fromt door has wiggled a jar while driving, high pitched humming noise from under passengers side of the hood even when car has been turned off for hours. Hums while driving and it's sparatic. Noise appears to be near the abs control module. Had a rear main seal leak also.
Reference: NHTSA id number: 10865853. Additional info - snapshot attached. Unable to upload audio file (available upon request) this is about "squeaking/creaking" noise that emanates from both front seat belts since purchase oct 2015. The event occurs when driver accelerates, decelerates, goes over speed bumps or uneven roads. The issue did not go away after driver seat was moved back and forth to ensure proper engagement in seat track. (note - this vehicle trim has manual seat adjustment). The creaking sounds is as if a bolted joint has come loose. Other drivers have reported that this issue was due to the seat belt bolt stripping loose. The issue is more pronounced in cold weather. The "squeaking" goes away when the seat belt is unbuckled. The "squeaking/creaking" resumes when the belt is braced tight against driver and vehicle accelerates or decelerates, or goes over uneven road or bumps. These db levels on these squeaks have increased where everyone seated in the car can now hear it. The incidents are still sporadic.
I am reporting an issue on sporadic "squeaking" noise that comes from both front seat belts since purchase oct 2015. The event occurs when driver accelerates or decelerates or goes over speed bumps or uneven roads. The issue does not go away despite moving the seats back and forth to ensure proper engagement. (seat adjustment is manual). The issue is more pronounced in cold weathers. The "squeak" event stops when the seat belt is unbuckled. The issue occurs when the belt is braced against driver when happens during acceleration or deceleration and going over uneven road or bumps. These squeak are now louder than after purchase and more annoying even though the squeaks come on sporadically.
