Complaint corrected by honda corporate. Strong gas smell on honda odyssey 2005. Was told I had a cracked fuel pump and repair was $565. I saw the other complaints online so I call honda corporate via honda.com and complained and told them I did not have the money. They said take it to a honda dealer to verify the problem, and they gave me a reference number. And said they will see if I can get an out of warranty fix as a good will jester. Today I dropped the car off to hoehn honda in carlsbad and the repair was approved for free as a goodwill jester, and honda is also fixing a seatbealt since the sr light was on and airbag. I am so thrilled. I encourage others to call corporate an let them know that you have seen other complaint on this site, that are to be investigated. Happy day, today!!!
A strong gasoline smell in the cabin and on the outside of the 2005 honda odyssey van. I called honda in october about it they said take to dealer to check fuel relay switch, dealer said it was okay, but to diagnose the smell they have to charge me $120. I did not have the money so I had to leave. Been sick with dealing cancer appointments and , had no time or money to deal with car, finally I took it on 12/6/2016 to a private mechanic for only $40 and they said it had a crack on top of the fuel pump casing. But the whole fuel pump had to be repaired and was going to cost $563. They advised me not to drive it around, so I contacted honda and they said if I take it back to the dealer they might help me with the repair, because they don't want the car to blow up while I am driving it. I inquired as to a recall for this problem and the service adviser stated that she was not aware of any recall notice for the fuel pump problem, but would see if I could get out of warranty help, I told her that I have read online and had printed out so many people stating their 2005 hondas having this same problem. I would like to have this investigated for a recall. Just because I don't have the money to fix this faulty casing which is a common problem, I should not have to risk mine or anyone else's life. I will repost the outcome, honda gave me a reference number and said someone should contact me by the end on 12/09/2013 to let me know if the can help with the cost.
After filling the gas tank; a gasoline smell filled the cabin and continued to exist until the fuel pump was replaced by the honda service department. I inquired as to a recall for this problem and the service adviser stated that he was not aware of any recall notice for the fuel pump problem. A crack was discovered on the top of the device. Would honda be responsible for the replacement of this failed part?
Noticed a strong gas smell outside of the vehicle and a faint one inside. Took it down to the dealers and the said it had a crack in the top of the fuel pump. Honda covered 1/2 of the service charge but not the entire cost since the car was out of warranty. Honda paid half in "goodwill".
Gasoline smell started to come from all around the vehicle. Took it to dealer and they said fuel pump housing has a crack which is made of plastic. Dealer said there were no recall on this but the issue seem to be happening to few others also. I think this should be replaced by manufacturer since it may cause a vehicle to catch fire.
