Honda Civic Fuel/propulsion System Safety Report | Dec 21, 2012
Reported on Dec 21, 2012
| THERE IS NO ACCIDENT, HERE IS PROBLEM: I HAVE 6840 MILES ON A 2012 HONDA CIVIC LX 4DR. WHEN FUEL TANK FILLED TO ALL THE WAY, THE FUEL WAS SLAPPING ABOUT FRONT TO BACK WHILE HIT BRAKE OR PARKING. IT MAKES A LOUD NOISE AND FUEL SLAM INTO THE WALL OF FUEL TANK. I WENT TO HONDA LOCAL DEALER AND THEY TELL ME THIS IS NORMAL, YOU ARE NOT FIRST ONE TO COMPLAINT, BUT THERE IS NO SERVICE BULLETIN TO IT. THIS IS UNSAFE, 10 GAL GAS FLOW IN TANK WILL THROW OFF THE BALANCE WHILE YOU MAKE TURNS, OR CAUSE DAMAGE SENSORS IN THE TANK, OR CAUSE FUEL SYSTEM LEAK EVEN FIRE. *TR | |
