Description of the problem	Our two daughters where in the rear seat and complained of a bad smell as if something burning. At about that same time i noticed hearing a rubbing noise every time we turned left. When we got home shortly after i looked up under the inner fender of the rear left wheel and found a large steel plate loose and rubbing the tire. It was so rusty you could see the interior plastic panels and insulation. At that time i put away the rear seat and noticed the left side anchor was totally loose and when i asked the girls if they noticed that the seat moved they stated that they did notice it move but never said anything about it. There is now a hole in the car wheel well and we cannot use the back seat. We have a bungee cord latched to the two seat anchors holding them inward to keep the metal plate from rubbing the tire. The van is now limited to four passengers and i am concerned about carbon monoxide entering the car.
