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.

Had car towed to dealership on 12/17/14. car not starting and stalling. had battery replaced and next day car would not start again. stalled and making noise under hood and in rear by battery. took back to dealership and they stated could not replicate problem therefore no solution to be found. told car was ready after waiting approx. 4 hrs. for them to try and replicate car shutting down. it just kept turning over. car once again shut off and would not start. left car and they told me fuel pump module was melted and needed replacement. also rear fuse block was melted and terminals in fuse block connectors overheated/spread apart. replaced fuel pump module and rear fuse block and repaired wiring in fuse block connector. this is a rather serious problem on a 2010 with approx. 47,800 miles. very dangerous for it could have caused a crash or fire in the car. *tr
