Consumer Description

FUEL FUMES IN THE VEHICLE AND OUT OF THE VEHICLE. VERY NOTICEABLE WHEN PARKED IN GARAGE. WE WILL NOT PARK IN AN ENCLOSED AREA ANY MORE. WHEN YOU FIRST GET IN VEHICLE THE FUEL SMELL IS STRONG; ALSO STRONG WHEN BACKING UP. AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE SMELL DISSIPATES. HONDA STATES ITS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NO FIX IN SIGHT! (THEY WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE SMELL WITH NO ISSUE FOUND!) THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING OR PARKING THIS VEHICLE NEAR OUR HOUSE.
