FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
A THUMPING SOUND EMINATES FROM INSIDE THE FUEL TANK WHEN IT IS FULL TO HALF FULL. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED WAS NOTIFIED. I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. MANY OTHER ODYSSEY OWNERS HAVE EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT THIS. HONDA CLAIMS THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE AS THIS IS PART OF THE DESIGN. A VEHICLE IN THIS PRICE RANGE SHOULD NOT HAVE ANNOYANCES OF THIS SORT.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
THIS HAPPENS MOSTLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED FROM A STANDSTILL TO MOVE OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, FOR EXAMPLE. ONCE UNDERWAY, THE PROBLEM IS NO LONGER NOTICEABLE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A NORMAL OCCURANCE IN THIS VEHICLE AS IT WAS DESIGNED THAT WAY. HONDA SAYS THERE IS NO NEED FOR CONCERN. I FEEL THIS IS A CONCERN. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AFTER MANY MONTHS OF RESEARCH AND FEEL THAT I WAS NOT FULLY INFORMED BY THE LITERATURE THAT HAS BEEN PUBLISHED. NO WHERE WAS IT WRITTEN THAT THIS WAS A COMMON OCCURENCE IN THIS VEHICLE. HAD IT BEEN, I MAY HAVE CONSIDERED A DIFFERENT VEHICLE TO SUIT MY NEEDS. NO SAFETY DEFECT DESCRIBED. *AK
