TAKATA RECALL WE ARE CONTINUOUSLY REFUSED A RECALL OF THE AIRBAGS . OTHER MODELS WITH THE SAME PART NUMBER ARE BEING REPLACED , BUT BECAUSE WE HAVE A HIGH MILEAGE CAR THEY REFUSE US . IS THIS TRUE AND IS IT LEGAL ?

I CAN SMELL A STRONG GAS ODOR NEAR THE REAR OF THE CAR. I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND COULD SEE GAS DRIPPING FROM THE GAS TANK WHERE THE FILLER HOSE GOES INTO THE TANK. THERE IS A PUDDLE OF GAS UNDER THE CAR WHEN IT IS PARKED.

I JUST BOUGHT A CAR FROM A SMALL USED CAR DEALER LAST NOV.9, 2015. I CAN SAVE MONEY FOR MY GASOLINE EXPENSES BECAUSE THE CAR I BOUGHT IS A HYBRID. I DROVE HOME THIS CAR WITH MY SON WITH 1/4 TANK (25%) GASOLINE IN THE TANK. BUT, AFTER 3-DAYS SINCE THE GASOLINE WAS BELOW 1/4 OF THE TANK, I FULL TANK MY CAR WITH GASOLINE (FULL TANK). THE NEXT DAY WHEN I OPEN MY GARAGE FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE, I SMELL VERY STRONG GASOLINE VAPOR. I THOUGHT IT'S ONLY SOME CONTAINER OF CHEMICAL IN THE GARAGE THAT I SMELL THAT REALLY SMELL TERRIBLE. I CHECKED THE BOTTOM OF THE GROUND AND I SAW GAS SPILLING ONTO THE GROUND UNDERNEATH THE GASOLINE TANK. BY CHECKING A LOT OF REVIEWS FROM CONSUMERS/ AUTOMOBILE OWNER OF 2006 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THERE'S A LOT OF ISSUE OF CRACK GASOLINE TANK OF THIS PARTICULAR CAR,LEAKING FROM THE RUBBER GASKET BETWEEN THE GAS TANK AND THE FUEL FILLER NECK ALSO. WHEN THE GASOLINE IS LEAKING ON THE GROUND THAT GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM OF THE GASOLINE TANK, WHILE RUNNING THE FRICTION OF THE RUNNING METAL WHEELS CAN START A FIRE. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS ALSO IN THE PUBLIC. MY VIN# [XXX]. I CHECKED THE ONLINE REPORT THAT THE AMERICAN HONDA ARE EXTENDING 2006 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID FROM 80,000 TO 120,000 MILES FOR THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY. BECAUSE, OF THE CONSUMER'S/ AUTOMOBILE OWNER'S COMPLAINTS ABOUT LEAKING GASOLINE TANK. IT IS THE FAULTY OF ENGINEERING DESIGN. BUT, WE CANNOT JUST LET THIS PAST BY. IT'S VERY RISKY OF THE LIFE OF MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE OR PROBLEM. SOME 2006 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID OWNERS MIGHT NOT EVEN NOTICED THE LEAKING PROBLEM THAT CAN PUT THEIR OWN FAMILY IN GREAT DANGER.. PLEASE, DO SOMETHING TO AVOID MANY LIFE OF OTHER PEOPLE IN GREAT DANGER AND CAUSING LIFE TO DEATH. I DON'T WANT TO SPEND MONEY IN THIS FACTORY INEFFICIENT DESIGN AND DEFECTIVE PARTS OF THE CAR. THIS SUPPOSED TO BE AN URGENT RECALL FOR AMERICAN HONDA. PLEASE HELP. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

HONDA HAD A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT FOR REPLACEMENT OF UPPER CONTROL ARM KIT EXTENDED WARRANTY DUE TO REAR WHEEL EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR, HOWEVER I WAS NOT INFORMED OF ISSUE AND THEREFORE HAVE MISSED THE DEADLINE FOR WARRANTY. AFTER CONTACTING AMERICAN HONDA, PLACING A CLAIM FOR GOODWILL ASSISTANCE AND AFTER REVIEWING THEY PROVIDED THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME AND THAT I COULD RE-SUBMIT CLAIM ONLY AFTER I HAD HONDA DEALER PERFORM DIAGNOSTICS WHICH THEY CHARGE $75 FEE WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT THEY WOULD RECOVER THIS COST OR PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE FOR REPAIR OF ISSUE. I KNOW THIS IS THE ISSUE AS I HAVE ALL ORIGINAL HONDA OEM PARTS, HAVE NOTICED EXCESSIVE INNER TIRE WEAR ON THE RIGHT REAR TIRE AND HAD PEP BOYS PERFORM INSPECTION ALERTING ME TO THE HONDA REPLACEMENT KIT. IN MY RESEARCH I HAVE ALSO FOUND STATEMENT THAT THIS CONDITION CAN CAUSE ISSUES WITH STEERING AND SAFETY. WITH HONDA REPAIR PRICES MUCH HIGHER THAN OTHER INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOPS, THERE IS NO REASON TO PAY HONDA DIAGNOSTICS CHARGE SIMPLY TO CONFIRM WHAT ALREADY ESTABLISHED KNOWLEDGE IS. END RESULT IS THAT HONDA HAS CORRECTED A FLAWED DESIGN YET IS NOT WILLING TO MAKE RIGHT WITH PROVIDING REPAIR FOR NEWLY DESIGNED REPLACEMENT KIT, WHICH MAKES ME A VERY UN-SATISFIED CUSTOMER OF THEIR PRODUCTS.

HONDA CVT TRANSMISSION SLIPS WHEN STARTING OUT , ESPECIALLY WHEN STARTING UPHILL . HAVE TAKEN TO HONDA AND PRIVATE MECHANICS NO SOLUTION. THIS THING SLIPPING WHEN I TRY TO START OUT INTO TRAFFIC CAN AND WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT SOMEDAY .

HONDA CIVIC HYBRID 2006 COULDN'T RUN SUDDENLY, EVEN THOUGH I PRESSED ACCELERATOR FULLY. IT WAS WHEN I DROVE ABOUT 30 MILES. ABOUT 5 KILOMETERS PREVIOUS FROM THE INCIDENT, IT BECAME TO HARD TO RUN GRADUALLY, FOR EXAMPLE, THE REACTION OF THE ENGINE BECAME LATER THEN IT COULDN'T RUN ONLY 15 MPH, EVEN THOUGH I PRESSED ACCELERATOR FULLY. FINALLY, MY CAR STOPPED ON THE BEACH BLVD.
