Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Late in the first year after we purchased the car we noticed from the back how low the fuel tank extended toward the ground. We didn't think much of this until this year we noticed a dent on the tank. I checked the new srxs at the dealer and found the newer models had much more ground clearance on the tank. We thought there must have been some problems and they had changed the tank clearance to correct this. I have not yet contacted the dealer to see if a correction can be made on my car. …”
