2006 Honda Civic fuel system problems

Filed Jun 28, 2024 · Fuel system · CA

I have a 2006 Honda Civic GX compressed natural gas vehicle. The problem with the vehicle is the compressed natural gas cylinder that holds the fuel. The cylinders are only certified for a period of time 15 or 20 years. After that the cylinders are considered expired and must be replaced. Once they are expired, they cannot be recertified. The problem I encountered is a complete lack of knowledge of proper maintenance procedures even by Honda dealers that are certified to work on natural gas vehicles (NGV). See Honda Service Bulletin 06-015 1998-2015 Civic GX All and US Dept of Energy, Alternative Fuels Data Center - CNG Fuel System and Tank Maintenance. From the time I bought the vehicle in 2006 until 2024 I regularly took it to a certified Honda NGV service dealer. At no time did they perform any required NGV safety checks. My issue is that there may be many of these vehicles on the roads still that pose a real safety risk to the owner and public if the NGV fuel systems have not been properly maintained. I brought this safety issue up to the Honda dealer and Honda Motor Company and both declined to take any measures to alert current NGV owners or Honda certified NGV service dealers. If expired cylinders are still in service, they are at risk of exploding and causing significant damage and injury.

My fuel tank all of a sudden started leaking. It all started as a gradual issue. Very random and unusual. I always get this car serviced. Honda denies any part of the defect and was informed car does not qualify any warranty at 93k miles. Tank had cracked and this is unusual for a lightly driven car. First signs were gas fumes all over the garage. Consumer had a local shop check the car there were no leaks. Consumer had 0.5 of the tank filled.

Request for issuance of recall. 2006 civic: engine does not start, and the immobilizer system makes car inoperable, especially if the battery recently went dead and the engine was jump-started. The dome light in my car, 2006 civic ex sedan, was left on the and battery was dead, and then car was jump started. After that the immobilizer system prevented the car from starting. 1. This is a well-known design defect (honda defect code: 03217) reported in many, many postings and comments on the internet, over many years, from 2006 until recently, both here in the u.s. And in the uk. See extracts from numerous internet reports in attachment (internet reports - problem.docx). 2. There is no warning about this problem or information in the owner's manual for this car, or any notification from honda, on the correct way to jump start the car to avoid the problem. See jump starting section in attachment (2006 ex owner's manual.pdf) 3. Honda has issued: "service bulletin - august 2, 2006 06-036 - immobilizer indicator is blinking, engine won't start symptom the engine does not start, and the immobilizer indicator is blinking (especially if the battery recently went dead and the engine was jump-started).

An expensive repair should not be needed simply for jump starting a car with a dead battery - a normal procedure that any car can sometimes need. A recall should be issued.

Fuel gauge operates intermittently. Gauge may show as 'full' when empty; or indicate 'empty' when full. At times, gauge lighting is off and will not reflect either 'full' or 'empty' fuel tank. Has also indicated as containing fuel in tank, when in reality is near empty, which may cause driver to run out of fuel without sufficient warning.

Fuel pumps are leaking from the top of pump housing and are filling up the cubby hole that they sit in, with gas. This pump has a access hole under the rear seat and fumes can be smelled inside and outside of the cars, with some leaking on the ground. It also is know to be on some odyssey as well. If parked in the garage overnight the fumes could fill the area and be ignited by a water heater or some other source. I have replaced many of these pumps over the years and honda dealers are doing the same with no concern that they are a defect and could cause a potential safety risk.
