FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
PURCHASED 2004 HONDA CRV EX 8/04. UPON FILLING THE GAS TANK, GAS SPURTS OUT WHILE PULLING OUT THE NOZZLE FROM THE TANK. I'VE HAD GAS LAND ON MY LEGS AND QUITE A PUDDLE ON THE GROUND. TALKED WITH SERVICES ADVISORS AT HONDA TWICE ABOUT IT AND WAS TOLD THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING -- TRY HOLDING THE NOZZLE IN FOR 3 SECONDS AFTER FILLING -- SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM -- IT DIDN'T! THIS PROBLEM OCCURS EVERY TIME YOU FILL UP. THE ONLY TIME IT DOESN'T IS WHEN YOU DON'T PUT THE NOZZLE ALL THE WAY INTO THE FILLING NECK. SEEMS A VACUUM IS MADE WHEN YOU DO AND UPON RETRACTING THE NOZZLE IT RELEASES AND GAS SPURTS OUT. I REPORTED THIS AGAIN TO A SERVICE ADVISOR AT HONDA 8/05 AND I'VE BEEN REQUESTED TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN ON 8/19/05 TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. I NOTICED ONE OTHER COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON YOUR WEBSITE. WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THEIR CONCERN? *JB

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT
THE "PROTECTION PROPELLER SHAFT" IS INSTALLED ON THE HONDA 2004 AND 2005 CR-V INCORRECTLY. IT SERVES NO PURPOSE WITH THE WAY IT IS INSTALLED AND COULD POTENTIALLY ALLOW THE SHAFT TO FALL TO THE GROUND DURING FAILURE. *MR THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROTECTOR CANNOT PREVENT THE DRIVE SHAFT FROM FALLING TO THE GROUND IN THE EVENT OF A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE UNIVERSAL CONNECTED JOINTS. THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THE PART SHOULD BE EITHER INSTALLED CORRECTLY OR ELIMINATED. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY HONDA CRV-EX 2004 WENT ON FIRE ON THE HIGHWAY. TOTAL LOSS. INSURRANCE COVERED SOME OF THE PERSONAL LOST ITEMS AND SOME OF THE CAR RENTAL COST. HONDA REFUSES TO COVER THE DIFFERENCE (JUST DOESN'T ANSWER). I CALLED, FAXED AND MAILED MY ITEMIZED REQUEST. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND UNDERSTANDING, VICTOR PRUTU

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
I AM REPORTING POOR GAS MILAGE DURING COLD MONTHS. I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN AUGUST 2004 AND WITH MY DRIVING FOUND THAT I GOT 25 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY AND 20 MILES PER GALLON WITH MIXED HIGHWAY AND LOCAL STREETS (50-50 MIX). WHEN COLD WEATHER ARRIVED WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE 30S AND 40S, I NOTICED THAT MY MILAGE WAS VERY POOR. THE HIGHWAY REMAINED THE SAME. THE MIXED DRIVING WAS BARELY 14 MILES PER GALLON. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TWICE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. AT THE SECOND VISIT I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER OF HONDA AND WAS TOLD MY DRIVING STYLE AND/OR USING THE HEATING HAD THIS EFFECT ON THE MILAGE. MY DRIVING STYLE IS NOT IN QUESTION - IT HAS NOT CHANGED. THAT LEAVES THE HEATER. I FIND THIS VERY HARD TO BELIEVE. I USE THE AC IN THE SUMMER AND MY MIXED DRIVING MILAGE WAS AT 20.

STEERING
OUR 2004 HONDA CR-V PULLS HARD TO THE RIGHT WHEN ACCELERATING. IT WILL CHANGE LANES ON IT'S OWN UNLESS YOU FIGHT THE STEERING WHEEL. IT APPEARS THAT OTHER OWNERS OF THE CR-V HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I'M AFRAID THAT THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND HOPE THAT HONDA CAN COME UP WITH A FIX.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
HAVE A 2004 CRV. STARTED OVERFLOWING WHEN FILLING UP WITH GAS 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH ONE, THEN ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR 8 MONTHS WITH NO RESOLUTION OTHER THAN MY TIME WASTED AND THEM TRYING TO BUILD ONE CAR OVER ONE PIECE AT A TIME. AMERICAN HONDA WAS NOTIFIED AT THE BEGINNING & HAS DONE NOTHING TO RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. (EXTREME INCOMPETENCE THERE) I HAVE RUN INTO OTHER PEOPLE AT GAS STATIONS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WANT TO KNOW HOW MANY MORE ARE OUT THERE THAT ARE NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY HONDA OR THE NHTSA. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I DON'T KNOW WHY IT WILL TAKE SOMEONE'S CAR ON FIRE AT A GAS STATION BEFORE ANYONE WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
I'M A 2004 HONDA CRV EX OWNER AND PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 10/18/2004. I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL FROM THE EXHAUST AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I RECEIVEDA PAMPHLET WHEN AT PURCHASE STATING A SMELL WILL BE EVIDENT FOR THE FIRST FEW HUNDRED MILES. HOWEVER, IT WAS THE FIRST THOUSAND MILES. CURRENT MILEAGE APR. 8009 MILES. I STILL SMELL IT OCCASIONALLY. NOT KNOWING ABOUT ALL THE PREVIOUS DAMAGE FROM OTHER OWNERS, FROM THE DOUBLING THE GASKET. I THINK IT MIGHT BE THAT. MAYBE OIL LEAKAGE OR SOMETHING. HAVEN'T BROUGHT IT IN FOR A CHECK ON THAT HOWEVER. BUT I WILL ASAP. I HAVE ALREADY GOT MY FIRST OIL CHANGE(04APR05) AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED VEHILE, AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS FROM ANYTHING CATCHING FIRE. ALSO DIDN'T BRING UP THE SMELL, BUT I SHOULD HAVE. STILL DO SMELL A BURNING SCENT FROM THE EXHAUST AFTER DRIVING THE CAR. ALSO, MY 5TH DOOR(TRUNK) I NOTICED A THUPING SOUND WHEN OPENED ALL THE WAY AND BROUGHT IT UP DURING OIL CHANGE AND DEALERSHIP FIXED PROBLEM WITH NO QUESTIONS ASKED. THEY OVER CHARGE ME THOUGH($103.92). DON'T GO TO "POWAY HONDA " IN CALIFORNIA. ACTUALLY WRITING TO CONSUMER REPORTS AS WELL. ALSO HAVE TO SAY THIS IS A GREAT WEBSITE AND WILL RECCOMMEND TO OTHERS. THANK YOU. *AK
