Unfortunately this is nothing new and it happens all the time. I’ve heard that accidents can go unreported for years and just show up on the report one day. Personally, I have experienced an erroneous service report show up on my wife’s Mazda performed by a Subaru dealer…..LOL. It never happened since we bought the car brand new. So yeah, Carfax is extremely unreliable.

This is why I never trusted Carfax when buying a car. I would consult it just the same but would also perform a complete PPI just to make sure there were no accidents.
