Honda Accord fuel leak problems

Filed Sep 18, 2026 · Electrical, Engine · KY

this is a known issue with honda. the head gasket is blown causing all the warning lights to come up on the dash. my car has not got hot, it goes up to the H but goes right back down to normal setting. i have had my local honda dealer look at my vehicle and that is what they told me was the issue. since my car has a rebuilt title, honda won't cover the cost for the repair. i bought the car last year from an out of state small dealer with a rebuilt title. honda is being sued for this issue, because they know about it and still were making the vehicles. this is no fault of my own and honda should honor the recall and repair my car at no cost to me. as i am now unable to drive the car and i can't afford to have it repaired. i contacted honda of america and filed a claim and also a good-will request, but because of the rebuilt title, i was not eligible for help. every single honda made during these specific years 2018-2021 are having the same issues. not one car should be discriminated against because of a rebuilt title. the re-build has zero impact on the head gasket and the cylinders being too close together, and the turbo causing the head to blow. my car is right at 128,000 miles, and it’s known for the issue to start occurring around 120,000 miles. then come to also find out there’s an ongoing issue with gas leaking into the oil. they denied my request on that too. any help would be greatly appreciated! thank you for your time and consideration! -RF-

While driving home from work in my 2024 Honda Accord EX 1.5T, multiple warning lights suddenly came on on the dashboard. Shortly afterward, I began smelling a strong gasoline/fuel odor inside the passenger compartment. I stopped the vehicle and got out. I could also smell gasoline outside the vehicle. I opened the hood and the gasoline odor was still noticeable from the engine compartment. Because I was concerned about the safety of the vehicle, I went to the nearest O’Reilly Auto Parts and had the vehicle scanned. The diagnostic scan showed P0172 (Fuel System Too Rich, Bank 1), P0300 (Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire), P0301 (Cylinder 1 Misfire), P0302 (Cylinder 2 Misfire), and P0303 (Cylinder 3 Misfire). The vehicle had approximately 82,063 miles at the time. The gasoline odor inside and outside the vehicle is especially concerning because of the potential risk of a fuel leak and fire. I checked my VIN for recalls and no open recall is currently listed for my vehicle. I am reporting this incident because I believe the fuel odor, rich fuel condition, multiple misfires, and dashboard warning lights may represent a safety-related fuel-system problem that should be investigated.

I was on my way to work on a major highway and my car started stalling a jerked forward almost causing a collision I pulled over to a safe area and called my family member he had to drive it to advance auto and they diagnosed it as a faulty fuel pump. I called honda and my insurance company and got the car towed to honda where it was also diagnosed as a fuel pump to be replaced per them my car had no other issues as I always keep up the maintenance on the car as I'm still paying for it. The only company that has this part was honda so they ordered the part and attempted to replace it. Once I received my car back I noticed a strong gas smell and stalling to crank. I called them and had it towed back and they said it was a gas leak they had to replace the whole system they just put in. Once I received the call back I noticed the same thing but this time the scent was significantly strong causing headaches to myself and other people I also have a video of the gas pouring out from under my car after I had just filled up the tank. I told honda the first time my concerns about it being fixed properly as I have a gas water heater in my garage where the car is kept they ensured me it was fine . I still had reservations about driving the car being stranded or it catching on fire when I received it back the third time . I was right because when I received it back not even two days later the smell permeated my house and garage and the car would not start. I had to call them and get it towed again. This will now be their fourth attempt in fixing my car. All three times they have given my car back I was so afraid of driving it I only moved the car to go to work and back home. According to them they did not have the right tool to apply the fuel pump in the first place and this is what caused the leak. I have reached out to american honda through email and calls with no response.
