Have a 2004 crv. Started overflowing when filling up with gas 3 months after purchase. Have been working with one, then another dealership for 8 months with no resolution other than my time wasted and them trying to build one car over one piece at a time. American honda was notified at the beginning & has done nothing to resolved the problem. (extreme incompetence there) I have run into other people at gas stations with the same problem. Want to know how many more are out there that are not being addressed by honda or the federal safety agency. This is a safety hazard. I don't know why it will take someone's car on fire at a gas station before anyone will do something about this.

When adding gas the tank overflows when filling up about 95% of the time. The problem first began september of last year after dealership serviced the car. Dealer does not know what is wrong with vehicle. *ak
I just bought my honda crv on 09/09/04, in third day I found that the washer container or bottle leak the liquid in the drainer neck, because the connection of the neck and the bottle has no washer rubber to stop the liquid from leaking. I call for repair but excuse for waiting the parts, it seems this is unreasonable.
Consumer stated that vehicle caught on fire after the first oil change. After oil change consumer pulled out into the driveway and vehicle started to smoke. Then, he pulled to the side of the road, and cut the vehicle off. By this time it was just a lot of smoke, but no fire. Honda dealer repaired the vehicle. Consumer states that this happened on 3/4/04, when the mileage on the vehicle was at 5158. *ak
Under fuel tank cap, there is a vent hole and a plastic extension (scoop shape). This plastic is pointing upward and vent hole is at the lowest point. In rain or during car washing water gets on the scoop through the fule door (fuel door is not water tight) and water enters into the fuel tank through the vent hole. And water gets into the engine cylinder.
On may 15, I took my 2004 honda crv to the dealership for its first oil change. My daughter picked up the car 2 hours later and drove 1-2 miles when passerages in nearby cars began blowing their horns and telling her to get out of the car because it was on fire. Men in the car behind called the fire dept. And being mechanics checked the oil. It was "bone dry." fire dept. Called for sand to be laid. The car was towed to the honda dealership where they had cleaned it up by the time I got to the dealership. They wanted me to get in the car and feel safe about my new car which had 3800 miles. Their answer to why this happened was that they had left the old oil gasket on and had put the new one on top. It had blown oil out the tailpipe. I left the car there for 6 weeks while I sought legal help, had independent mechanics check it out, sent oil samples and filter to independent labs for testing. During this time I contacted honda coporation, local tv stations, and made numerous phone calls to the dealership. I requested a new car and to have the service plan which I had purchased transferred to another dealership. Two weeks ago, the dealership did agree to issue me a 72 months/100,000 mile warranty and they did refund my service plan so that I may purchase it from another dealership. American honda corporation never took any ownership for the situation. They agreed with the dealership.
During fueling of vehicle, 1 to 2 seconds after pump automatically stops, fuel spills out of filler tube. Even upon removing gas pump handle, fuel can be seen flowing out of filler tube for several seconds, down the side of the car and onto the ground. Estimate 4 to 8 ounces total. Potential fire and environmental hazard. Occurs about 50% of the time the car is fueled, and has occured at different gas stations.
Just purchased a honda cr-v (new). When the gas tank is filled up at the pump there is gas spillage following the automatic shutoff of the pump. The amount is approx. 2 to 4 oz of fuel. This could cause a fire and is also an air pollution source. This spillage occurs every time I fill up the tank. This must be corrected. Is there currently a recall??? Am I the only one with this problem??? Will this get fixed??? Who should I contact next???
