In january of 2005 I ecnountered that my gas gauge intermittently does not go to full when I fill up the tank if the gas tank was 1/4 full or less. I brought the car into the honda dealership the first time and they could not find anything. I just got the car back yesterday, 3/23/2005, for the same problem and again nothing was done to fix the problem. My biggest concern is that the gauge will fail in the future with my daughter using this vehicle for college. I do not want her to run out of gas or have an accident on the highway if she runs out of gas due to a defective gas gauge reading problem.
2002 Honda CR-V fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving away from a riverside campsite, tried to straddle some ruts on the access road. Vehicle slipped into the ruts and bottomed out slightly, but I was still able to drive out and did not get stuck. The bracket directly behind the gas tank on the undercarriage, which holds fuel system related components, was almost ripped off by this minor contact. It is the lowest part of the undercarriage and very vulnerable to damage without any sort of protection. 2 of 3 mounts were ripped loose, and the assembly was bent back to rub on the rear axle and hang down even lower. This problem was reported by other vr-v drivers who had to navigate deep snow and sand. Sensitive fuel system parts should not be vulnerable to damage in this way! Vehicle is out of warranty. I will have a custom made skid plate and mounting bracket installed if honda doesn't offer to fix for free with a new, safer design.
Engine light keeps coming on & then car will drive rough. I have taken it in 3 times already for same problem, they told me to make sure gas cap is on tight and not to over/under fill with gas I have been doing as told and the problem is still present for the 4th time. Car was purchased on august 2002.
While driving, fuel pump was dislodged and came in contact with turning axle. Could have resulted in a fuel leak and vehicle fire. Contacted dealership.*akthe bracket nearly cut through the plastic fuel canister. Light contact with sand while driving vehicle on the beach displaced the fuel pump assembly rear ward into the rear axle.
