Often during refueling of my vehicle the gas pump shuts off after a few moments of refueling. At times, the gasoline backs up in the tube and spews back out onto the vehicle and the ground despite having a near empty fuel tank . It has become necessary to squeeze the pump handle lightly and trickle the gasoline into the fuel tank. I have also found this to occur at different gas stations as well. Thank you for your assistance into this matter.
2004 Honda Pilot fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 18 of 18, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The shift interlock allowed the key to be removed without the pilot being in park. This caused the pilot to roll backwards in a parking lot. Luckily the lot was fairly flat, so it didn't roll far or hit anything (or anybody!). A honda dealer confirmed the issue, and contacted honda about it. Honda said they wouldn't fix the issue due to the mileage, and the fact that I purchased the vehicle used (from carmax).
Fuel filler neck on my 2004 pilot had a fuel leak. My check engine light came on and when the vehicle was serviced a leak in the neck of the gas tank filler tube was detected and replaced. The vehicle had about 95,000 miles.
Vtm-4 light and check engine light illuminating. Was told that gas cap being loose may cause this to happen but I have been ensuring that it is properly seated every time I refil the vehicle.
Since the vehicle was new, there was a sloshing sound from the gas tank when the car starts or stops (as if I'm carrying an aquarium). Honda said (7/15/05) it's the tank's alloy composition, and is a normal condition. Since safety is not an issue, honda will not replace the gas tank, and I will just have to live with the annoyance. Honda is sorry; most pilots don't behave like this.
