The coated fuel line up near the fuel tank rusted from inside out yet the rest of the fuel line especially the part exposed to the road debris and salt was pristine condition. The fuel began spilling while driving and we noticed it when we went to park the car in the driveway - losing ~ 1 l/min..

When I turned ignition to start engine, the car suddenly started to rev erratically with RPM ranging up to 5k+. My foot was on the floor not on brake or gas pedal. Cruise control was off. Floor mat was far from gas pedall. The car was on park plus hand brake was on. My wife and I both were dumbfounded for couple of secs then I finally turned off the ignition. Waited a couple of seconds and car restarted fine. Incident did not recur. Car was in garage.

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 honda cr-v. The contact was driving approximately 55 MPH with the air conditioner activated when suddenly, warm air began to circulate throughout the vents. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who stated the air conditioner compressor would need to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000. Also, the check engine light has been coming on and going off, since the vehicle was purchased in 2002. The dealer informed the consumer there was a crack at the top of the fuel tank. Updated 07/17/14 updated 03/10/16.

Since I bought crv (used), in september 2011, my gas gauge has been inaccurate.

My fuel gauge is not accurate: if the tank drops to half full, the gauge is unreliable and often registers more or less gas than there is. Usually there is less gas than the gauge registers, but I've filled up the tank until the tank clicked, and the gauge still read 3/4 full. I've been browsing on some online forums, and this seems to be a common problem with the 2002 crv. On this site, it looks like 8 different people with 2002 honda crvs have posted the same complaint: http://www.topix.com/forum/autos/honda-cr-v/tphioaurac0i3t5o3 this is a safety hazard for me because I live in wi, where temperatures commonly reach below zero in the winter! I commute 50 minutes using a country road, and I could literally freeze if my gas gauge is unreliable, and I think that I have more gas than I have. (there are no public pay phones on my route, and there aren't always houses within walking distance.) this could, of course, also be a problem for anyone driving on the freeway who runs out of fuel due to a fault gauge/sending unit. I took it to a dealer in madison, wi, and the dealer said that the estimated cost was $450+ for parts and labor. Help! Do the right thing, honda, and issue a recall if this is a known problem. It does seem to be a flaw in the mass-produced component, not just individual quirk of one car/driver.

I own a 2002 honda cr-v. The gas tank cap has caused my check engine light to come on several times in the past. Each time, I buy a new gas cap and the error goes away. I am on my 3rd gas cap and I'm getting a check engine light again. I will call honda to report this issue and to request a real "fix" to the problem. As stated by others, the check engine light is a warning to drivers. It's importance is watered down by spurious errors like this. Honda needs to address this.

My filler cap also loosens by itself and causes the check engine light to go on. I am on my 3rd cap and continue to have sporadic problems with it loosening on its own. When the check engine light goes on, I get out of the car and sure enough the cap is loose. It takes a couple of days for the computer to reset itself and the engine light to go off. Very annoying.

My 2002 honda cr-v has a fuel filler defect which causes the "check engine" light to come on. Changes in temperature or other weather related factors cause the filler cap to loosen and the light comes on. Honda recommends manually tightening the cap past "several clicks" to ensure a tight seal after fueling. The cap loosens anyway accompanied by strong gasoline fumes from the loosened cap. Honda knows of the problem. They replaced the fuel cap twice and once gave me a $ 300 estimate to replace the plastic gas tank filler pipe which is apparently the root cause of the problem. Today was a warm day and the light was on all day as I drove. The issue is this: if the check engine light often comes on spuriously, a driver doesn't pay attention to what may be a legitimate warning for a serious engine problem that could have safety implications. In addition, the loose cap causes gasoline fumes to enter the passenger compartment. Have there been other complaints about the filler cap issue?

Repeated mechanical failures of the 2002 honda crv that I bought brand new have been occurring since august of 2002. The car was bought in july of 2002. The odor from the inside cabin filter first occurred in august. The fuse to the warning devise that would alert the driver to lights being left on, etc. Went out within 3-4 months. Then major items which had to be replaced: differential, 2004(though still under warranty, honda refused to replace it for 2 years), neck of fuel tank broke, 2006, air conditioning system, 2007, driver-side window fell off track because the plastic clamp cracked, 2008, catalytic converter, 2009, o2 sensor, 2009, driver's seat unstable since 2003, SRS slowly went out beginning with intermittent warnings about side door air bag being turned off beginning in 2003 which dealerships ignored as just an occurence from something or someone bumping against the closed door from the inside. Finally in 2008, when the light came on to stay, I was told that it was a failure of the sensor motor__now my problem to again pay for a major repair.
