3 weeks ago my family complained that they smelled gas inside and outside the car, I later smelled it also. I brought it to a mechanic and they found out the fuel pump has cracks on the top cover and that is causing the leak. I looked into it online and found out from 2005 to 2010 there was recalls on the fuel pump module. I contacted honda and the told me my vehicle was not affected based on my VIN. I started the car this past friday and the car turned off and leaked out fuel from the bottom. It seems I have the same problem as everyone else who has had a problem with these honda odysseys. Was it a mistake my vechicle was skipped out on the recall?

On saturday august 1, 2015, I was on my way from the airport with three other family members when the van suddenly lost power and stalled in the middle of the road. Upon several attempts to restart it, the van would crank, but would not turn over. My fuel gauge and light were not indicating no fuel (which was the first thing that the officer who assisted in pushing the vehicle off the road looked at). The local auto repair shop ran a diagnostics on the vehicle and decided that all the vehicle's six cylinders were mis-firing due to low fuel pressure (5psi) and that I needed a new fuel pump. The last time I had driven the van prior to august 1, was july 21, 2015 when I took it to honda dealer for the fuel pump filter replacement (the vehicle had 147,504 miles on it leaving the dealership). The dealer called to tell me that the reason why the vehicle stopped was that I had run out of fuel. I asked how the cylinder misfirings and check engine light that came on earlier on august 1st was related to an empty tank, the service manager said that they were related. But he said he could not promise that the vehicle will not stall again because all the fuel pump part could be getting old and failing. Now, about the fuel gauge that "failed" to work after the fuel pump recall work was done, the dealership refused to take responsibility and claimed that their technician rechecked what he did on july 21st and found no problem with it. Furthermore, it appears that the problem with the 2005 odyssey fuel pump is deeper than the "filter" replacement patch that honda has improvised to resolve the issue. Please help us go after honda of america to do the right thing by replacing all defective fuel pumps and not just the fuel pump filter.
