Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Water collected inside the passenger compartment of my 2023 Subaru Solterra. The carpet was soaked and there was standing water on the floor in both the front and the rear of the vehicle. I first noticed a musty smell in approximately July, 2026. By Aug, 2026 there was standing water on the floor. The dealer told me the cause was a blocked air conditioning drain line. Nothing in my owner's manual or maintenance schedule tells owners to clean, inspect, or service that drain, and I had no way to know it existed or that it could fail. My concern is a safety concern. …”
