1. Seat belt replaced previously by dealer out of standard warranty period. The same problem has ocurred again with the belt retractor coil spring wearing through the plastic housing preventing the belt from retracting and holding the passenger in place. 2. Fuel pump was replaced previously during standard warranty period. Fails to provide sufficent pressure to start the engine especially when cold.
