2016 HONDA CR-V Complaints

ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, AND THE HVAC SYSTEM IS ON (A/C ON / OFF IS NOT RELEVANT) DOES THE CABIN BEGIN TO FILL WITH THE SMELL OF GASOLINE (NOT EXHAUST, BUT UNBURNED FUEL). *CN

THE VEHICLE IS EMITTING A VERY STRONG GAS ODOR! IT IS MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN I OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE HOUSE TO THE GARAGE (EVERY TIME.) THE ENTIRE GARAGE SMELLS LIKE GAS. IT IS NOTICEABLE WHEN STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. IT IS NOTICED WHEN COMING BACK TO THE CAR AFTER HAVING GONE INTO A STORE FOR A QUICK ERRAND(S). I TOOK THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALER. THEY KEPT IT OVERNIGHT AND FOR MOST OF A DAY. WHEN I CAME IN I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A JUST A NEW CAR SMELL. HOWEVER, THE SMELL CONTINUES AND SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN REVERSING OUT THE DRIVEWAY AND ATTEMPTING TO APPLY THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD TO IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE MOSTLY OCCURRED DURING COLD WEATHER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 650.

FUEL FUMES IN THE VEHICLE AND OUT OF THE VEHICLE. VERY NOTICEABLE WHEN PARKED IN GARAGE. WE WILL NOT PARK IN AN ENCLOSED AREA ANY MORE. WHEN YOU FIRST GET IN VEHICLE THE FUEL SMELL IS STRONG; ALSO STRONG WHEN BACKING UP. AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE SMELL DISSIPATES. HONDA STATES ITS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NO FIX IN SIGHT! (THEY WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE SMELL WITH NO ISSUE FOUND!) THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING OR PARKING THIS VEHICLE NEAR OUR HOUSE.

MY FEET GET TANGLED BETWEEN THE BRAKE AND GAS. I HAD UNINTENDED ACCELERATION DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. THE CAR IDLE IS SET AT 5MPH ONCE YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR ASSUMES YOU ARE GOING FORWARD AND DOES SEEK TO GO 5 MPH NO MATTER YOUR INTENTIONS. THE BRAKE AND THE GAS ARE ONLY 2.5 INCHES APART. WHEN TRYING TO BRAKE MY FOOT WAS PINNED UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL AND CAUSING THE CAR TO GO 5 MILES PER HOUR. I HAVE AVOIDED ANY NUMBER OF UNTENDED CRASHES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM.

IN LATE NOVEMBER/EARLY DECEMBER, I BEGAN TO SMELL GASOLINE FUMES IN THE CABIN OF MY 2016 HONDA CRV. THE PROBLEM HAS REPLICATED AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES AND THEN LEFT IDLING. ON JANUARY 7TH WHEN MY CAR WAS DROPPED OFF AT LIA, I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL WITHIN AN HOUR STATING THAT THEY REPLICATED THE SMELL. LIA HONDA HAD MY CAR FOR 35 DAYS. ON FEBRUARY 10TH, THEY CONTACTED ME AND TOLD ME THEY HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE AND I NEEDED TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE. ON FEBRUARY 21, I MET WITH THE DISTRICT MANGER WHO STATED THAT IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2016 HONDA CRVS BUT THERE IS NOT CURRENTLY A FIX.AFTER SPEAKING WITH HIS FIELD ENGINEER, THE DM SAID THEY CURRENTLY HAVE 46 CASES OF GASOLINE FUMES ENTERING THE PASSAGER CABIN. HONDA CORPORATE ALSO ADMITTED THAT THEY CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THE FUMES BEING RELEASED INTO THE PASSENGER CABIN. LIA HONDA REPLACED THE CHARCOAL CANISTER IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIX THE RELEASE OF FUMES INTO THE VEHICLE. ON MARCH 18, THE FUMES RETURNED AFTER AN ATTEMPTED REPAIR. ON MARCH 20, LIA REFUSED TO SERVICE MY VEHICLE.

GASOLINE SMELL COMES INTO A CABIN: -WHILE DRIVING, -WHEN THE ENGINE STARTS AFTER 5-10 MIN OF RESTING GASOLINE SMELL COMES OUTSIDE OUT OF THE ENGINE. THE CAR WAS INSPECTED AT HONDA AUTHORIZED SERVICE AND THE ISSUE WAS CONFIRMED. THE ISSUE IS NOT REPAIRABLE ON MARCH 2017. THERE ARE FOLLOWING CONCERNS: - THE CAR MAY BLOW ON A RODE WHILE DRIVING - MAY CAUSE A FIRE WHILE STORED IN A GARAGE - MAY CAUSE HEALTH ISSUES DUE TO BREATHING GASOLINE FUMES

OFTEN THERE IS A STRONG FUEL ODOR INSIDE THE CABIN. THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE WHEN WARM AFTER RECENTLY BEING DRIVEN; NOTICEABLE BOTH WHEN STATIONARY AFTER ENGINE START AND UPON STARTING TO DRIVE.

STRONG GASOLINE SMELL IN CABIN OF VEHICLE,CAUSING HEAD ACHE BURNING EYES AND NAUSEA WHILE OPERATING.

BAD VIBRATION WHILE THE CAR IS STOPPED IN GEAR SHAKES THE OCCUPANTS. THIS VIBRATION HAPPENS WHEN THE ENGINE RPM FALLS TO 500 TO 550 ON THE TACHOMETER. HONDA REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING TO FIX THE ISSUE BASED ON A FEAR OF THE EPA AND FUEL ECONOMY RATINGS FOR THE VEHICLE. HONDA CALLS THIS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE BUT OUR FAMILY CURRENTLY OWNS 5 HONDA VEHICLES AND THIS IS THE ONLY ON TO EXHIBIT THIS ABNORMAL VIBRATION CHARACTERISTIC. THE VIBRATION WAS NOT AS PRONOUNCED UNTIL THE CVT SOFTWARE UPDATE (RECALL) WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. HONDA HAS TRIED SEVERAL THINGS TO REMEDY THIS VIBRATION BUT HAS BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL.
