Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Interior trim in front of shifter is unreasonably sharp. When removing items, like cell phone, or wallet from the storage cubby in front of the shifter multiple fingers have been snagged and sliced deeply. The first time I was cut the cut was small on the tip of my right ring finger. Because of the sharpness of the trim piece I did not know I was cut until I noticed blood. I also did not know where the first cut came from. It was only when I was cut 2 more times, both deeper and with more bleeding that I realized what was cutting me and why it was happening. …”
NHTSA complaint #11404319, filed 2021-03, 61,000 miles“I had fuel leaking from my carbon canister. I was driving the previous day and noticed a gasoline smell. I thought it was something I ran over. The next day, while performing errands, I noticed the smell even more. Then I exited the vehicle to see the fuel pouring out of the car. The dealership has it now.”
