Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The cabin of my crv smells nauseatingly like gasoline causing severe headaches. It happens while the engine is running at low and high speeds, and also when the engine is not running. My vehicle has less than 4000 miles on it. I thought this problem was fixed in the 2020 models.”
NHTSA complaint #11373891, filed 2020-11, 2,000 miles“After finishing a 300 mile trip, we unloaded the car and parked it. This vehicle is a month old, with 557 miles after this trip. I spent 60 minutes looking for road dings and any scratches. Found nothing! I went back out to be sure we locked and found a 5 inch crack on the right side of the windshield. I spent another 30 minutes looking for a reason/cause. There was no marks on this vehicle when arrived at our destination. And after sitting parked for at least an hour the windshield was cracked. It appears that both layers of glass are damaged!”
