NHTSA Complaint #10790479 — 2006 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID

I JUST BOUGHT A CAR FROM A SMALL USED CAR DEALER LAST NOV.9, 2015. I CAN SAVE MONEY FOR MY GASOLINE EXPENSES BECAUSE THE CAR I BOUGHT IS A HYBRID. I DROVE HOME THIS CAR WITH MY SON WITH 1/4 TANK (25%) GASOLINE IN THE TANK. BUT, AFTER 3-DAYS SINCE THE GASOLINE WAS BELOW 1/4 OF THE TANK, I FULL TANK MY CAR WITH GASOLINE (FULL TANK). THE NEXT DAY WHEN I OPEN MY GARAGE FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE, I SMELL VERY STRONG GASOLINE VAPOR. I THOUGHT IT'S ONLY SOME CONTAINER OF CHEMICAL IN THE GARAGE THAT I SMELL THAT REALLY SMELL TERRIBLE. I CHECKED THE BOTTOM OF THE GROUND AND I SAW GAS SPILLING ONTO THE GROUND UNDERNEATH THE GASOLINE TANK. BY CHECKING A LOT OF REVIEWS FROM CONSUMERS/ AUTOMOBILE OWNER OF 2006 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THERE'S A LOT OF ISSUE OF CRACK GASOLINE TANK OF THIS PARTICULAR CAR,LEAKING FROM THE RUBBER GASKET BETWEEN THE GAS TANK AND THE FUEL FILLER NECK ALSO. WHEN THE GASOLINE IS LEAKING ON THE GROUND THAT GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM OF THE GASOLINE TANK, WHILE RUNNING THE FRICTION OF THE RUNNING METAL WHEELS CAN START A FIRE. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS ALSO IN THE PUBLIC. MY VIN# [XXX]. I CHECKED THE ONLINE REPORT THAT THE AMERICAN HONDA ARE EXTENDING 2006 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID FROM 80,000 TO 120,000 MILES FOR THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY. BECAUSE, OF THE CONSUMER'S/ AUTOMOBILE OWNER'S COMPLAINTS ABOUT LEAKING GASOLINE TANK. IT IS THE FAULTY OF ENGINEERING DESIGN. BUT, WE CANNOT JUST LET THIS PAST BY. IT'S VERY RISKY OF THE LIFE OF MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE OR PROBLEM. SOME 2006 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID OWNERS MIGHT NOT EVEN NOTICED THE LEAKING PROBLEM THAT CAN PUT THEIR OWN FAMILY IN GREAT DANGER.. PLEASE, DO SOMETHING TO AVOID MANY LIFE OF OTHER PEOPLE IN GREAT DANGER AND CAUSING LIFE TO DEATH. I DON'T WANT TO SPEND MONEY IN THIS FACTORY INEFFICIENT DESIGN AND DEFECTIVE PARTS OF THE CAR. THIS SUPPOSED TO BE AN URGENT RECALL FOR AMERICAN HONDA. PLEASE HELP. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
