severe erosion of my undecarriage, metal just falls off from under the car. My fuel tank leaks and gas pours out. It has been deemed unsafe to drive by my Honda dealer, but has a good engine and other parts. It has been severely impacted by rust and erosion. The previous owner was a resident of Chicago, where salt is used, which I believe influenced this defect.

GAS LEAKED FROM THE TOP SIDE OF FUEL TANK UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE OF VEHICLE. IT HAS DONE THIS TWO TIMES NOW WHILE BEING FILLED UP AT TWO SEPARATE GAS STATIONS. BOTH OF WHICH WERE SMOOTH FLAT SURFACES. IT DOES NOT OVERFLOW FROM THE NOZZLE INSERT WHERE YOU PUMP GAS AT. IT COMES FROM SOMEWHERE ON THE TOP SIDE OF TANK AND LEAKS UNTIL THE GAS GOES BELOW THE SPOT FROM WHICH IT LEAKS.

HONDA PILOT 2003 CRANKED UP STARTED DRIVING, AFTER A MIN OR TWO IT SHUT OFF AND WOULDN'T CRANK BACK UP. I'VE REPLACED THE MAIN RELAY AND A NEW FUEL PUMP BUT WHEN YOU PUT THE KEY IN AND TRY TO START IT, IT DOESN'T TURN OVER ALL THE WAY. IT WANTS TO BUT WON'T. ALSO MORE ELECTRICAL ISSUES ALONG WITH RADIO AND HEAD LIGHTS. SOMETHING IS TERRIBLY WRONG AND IVE PUT ALOT OF MONEY INTO TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT IT IS AND HAVE BEEN GUARANTEED THAT PART WILL FIX IT BUT NO LUCK. NEW PARTS HELP BUT NOT WITH TURNING OVER AND STARTING.

VEHICLE WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING AND THEN FAIL TO START UNLESS LEFT OFF FROM 15 TO 30 MINUTES VEHICLE WILL PERIODICALLY FAIL TO START. THIS HAPPENED DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND WAS ABLE TO DRIFT OVER TO SHOULDER WHILE AVOIDING BEING RUN INTO. THE LAST INSTANCE A POLICE OFFICER KINDLY HELPED PUSH THE VEHICLE OFF A BUSY CITY STREET AS SO I COULD WAIT FOR A TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. THEY CONTINUE TO SAY THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND HAVE REPLACED MULTIPLE AND EXPENSIVE PARTS BUT TO NO AVAIL.

FOR FEW YEARS I HAVE BEEN NOTICING TERRIBLE MILEAGE, BUT THOUGHT THE CAR WAS GETTING OLDER. FOR DEFINITELY AN YEAR, THERE IS A NOTICEABLE SMELL OF GASOLINE IN THE CAR, AGAIN THOUGHT ITS THE SIGN OF AN OLD CAR. BUT, LAST WEEKEND I REALIZED THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND FINALLY GOT AROUND WHATS HAPPENING. THE FUEL STARTED DRIPPING AT THE FUEL TANK - FUEL LINE AND IS DRIPPING AT 1 DROP PER MINUTE .. NOT SURE IF IT DRIPS AT THE SAME RATE ALL THE TIME. READING AT ALL THE COMPLAINTS, IT SEEMS LIKE NHTSA WOULD ONLY CONSIDER ANYTHING AFTER SOMEONE DIES. SOUNDS LIKE USELESS POSTING OVER HERE, BUT JUST DOING IT FOR THE BENEFIT OF OTHERS. THIS CAR HAD BEEN LEAKING FOR A WHILE, THOUGH THE DRIP STARTED VERY RECENTLY, THUS GIVING VERY LOW MILEAGE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH SHOULD RESULT IN A RECALL.
