Example complaints

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

“Water coming in through sunroof and pooling in the back seat foot pans. Only reason I was aware was first because someone with the same vehicle told me it happened to them and second I began to see moisture and ice on the inside of the windshield. Also began to have a mold odor. This lead to corrosion of the floor pans and damage to electrical wiring. Unknown what other long term damage could be caused.”

NHTSA complaint #11455800, filed 2022-03
