2016 HONDA CR-V Complaints

GASOLINE SMELL IN CAB. WE HAVE HAD A STRONG GASOLINE ODOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS IN THE CAB OF OUR 2016 HONDA CR-V. THE HONDA DEALER HAS NOT HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING BUT THERE ARE QUITE A FEW CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS AGAINST HONDA FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. HONDA, PLEASE FIGURE THIS OUT SO WE DON'T DIE!

STRONG FUEL ODORS INSIDE THE CAR WHILE PARKED OR DRIVING. HAPPENED FEW TIMES NOW. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM TAKE A LOOK. THEY SAID THEY HAVE FOUND NOTHING OUT OF ORDINARY. TOLD US THERE IS NO PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA CR-V. AT VARIOUS TIMES, THE CONTACT ENCOUNTERED A STRONG FUEL ODOR COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE OR DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

THERE IS A STRONG NOXIOUS GASOLINE SMELL FILLING THE CABIN WHEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE. APPARENTLY HONDA HAS KNOW OF THIS ISSUE FOR SOME TIME AND HAS RECEIVED NUMEROUS COMPLAINS ABOUT THE PROBLEM IN THE LAST YEAR. DESPITE THIS, THEY KNOWING SOLD US THE VEHICLE WITHOUT DISCLOSING THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WE BOUGHT IT FROM (HOPKINS HONDA IN MINNESOTA) AND THEY CONFIRMED THE SMELL AND ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS IS A CONFIRMED PROBLEM, BUT STATED THAT THERE IS NO FIX AND THAT HONDA IS TRYING TO FIND A SOLUTION. IN THE MEANTIME MY FAMILY AND I ARE FORCED TO INHALE THIS FUMES WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE WHICH HAS RESULTED IN HEADACHES AND NAUSEA. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT THE HEALTH OF MY FAMILY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000. ...UPDATED 02/22/17 *BF *CN

ON START-UP AND WHEN BACKING UP INTERMITTENTLY THE VEHICLE HAS A STRONG SMELL OF RAW GASOLINE INSIDE THE CABIN. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN RECENTLY FUELED (CURRENTLY HAS 1/4 TANK). DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT HONDA HAS ISSUED NO SERVICE BULLETINS OR COMMUNICATIONS FOR THIS ISSUE. ONLINE POSTINGS, AND NHTSA COMPLAINTS, SHOW OTHER 2016 CR-V OWNERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE.

SINCE THE DATE OF PURCHASE WE HAVE SMELLED FUEL WITHIN THE PASSENGER AREA COMING FROM THE FRESH AIR VENTS. WE MUST ACTUALLY AIR OUT OUR GARAGE (WHICH HAS NO OTHER SOURCES OF GASOLINE WITHIN) IN ORDER TO GET THE SMELL OUT OF THE GARAGE. THIS PROCESS BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT DURING OUR WISCONSIN WINTER. THE DEALERSHIP IMPLIED THAT THEY ARE WAITING FOR A FIX TO THE PROBLEM BUT AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. IN CALIFORNIA BELIEVES THE VEHICLE IS PERFORMING AS EXPECTED. AT NO TIME IS THE ODOR OF FUEL OR EXHAUST IN THE PASSENGER CABIN ACCEPTABLE OR SAFE.

THE VEHICLE CABIN SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE WHILE DRIVING. THERE ARE NO LEAKS ANYWHERE, THIS IS PERSISTENT. I LOOKED ON A HONDA CR-V FORUM AND SAW MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO FIX IT, HONDA HAS DONE NOTHING. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT FILED FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TPM LIGHT COMES ON AFTER TRAVELING 2 1/2 HOURS ON HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH. CHECKED TIRES AND CONSTANTLY SHOWS PRESSURE HIGH. TIRES CHECKED DAY BEFORE TRIP AT 32 PSIA WITH TPM LIGHT COMING ON DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING. CHECKED TIRES AFTER TPM LIGHT COMES ON AND TIRE PRESSURE WAS 35 PSIA. HAPPENED THREE TIMES ON TRIPS OVER 21/2 HOURS OF HIGHWAY DRIVING. DEALER SAYS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. ANNOYING SINCE I WILL HAVE TO BRING A TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE AND CHECK ALL FOUR TIRES TO SEE WHEN THE TPM LIGHT COMES ON AND SEE IF WARNING IS DUE TO TIRES HEATING UP DURING LONG PERIODS OF HIGHWAY DRIVING RESULTING IN HIGHER TIRE PRESSURE. *TR

A SNOWSTORM ON DECEMBER 5, 2016 LEFT ME UNABLE TO NAVIGATE THE ROAD SAFELY BECAUSE THE ALL SEASON TIRES BOUGHT WITH THE CAR BECAME STIFF WITH COLD AND HAZARDOUS IN SNOW. BRIDGESTONE DUELER H/P SPORT AS P265/65R17 ARE CLEARLY NOT ALL SEASON TIRES AND DO NOT BELONG ON CR-VS SOLD IN COLD CLIMATE STATES. I ATTACH MY RECEIPT FOR OTHER TIRES I PURCHASED TO REPLACE THESE AND MY LETTER TO HONDA.
