What owners wrote
The low track system malfunctioned, and vehicle caught fire. As a result the vehicle was a total loss. Dealer notified. Please provide additional information. Ph
One nut and bolt on each side of inner panel under the hood in engine compartment were loose. I tightened about 4 to 5 turns on nut (used 18mm open end wrench). After this took it to dealer-ship to know what this two bolt does ? Dealer-ship technician said those are the bolts for front motor mount and rear transmission mount. My concern is that those bolts might be started to damage in 4 year of vehicle life(possible shear at the inner panel in engine compartment).
