AT 9808/9809 MILES MY CAR DEVELOPED WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A FUEL LEAK. IN CLOSE QUARTERS LIKE MY GARAGE IT IS POWERFUL AND DANGEROUS IN MY GARAGE DUE TO A PILOT LIGHT FOR THE WATER HEATER. ( EXPLOSION DANGER). THE CAR WAS PRESSURE TESTED AND WORKER SUGGESTED IT WAS AN ADDITIVE TO LAS VEGAS FUEL. MY CAR WAS SHOWING 3 BARS FILLED IN THE FUEL TANK. I FILLED THE TANK AND THE SMELL STOPPED. 2 WEEKS LATER THE SMELL IS BACK. TANK HAS BEEN FILLED AND YET THIS TIME THE SMELL HAS PERSISTED. APPARENTLY IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE AT THIS POINT WHAT THE FUEL LEVEL…

WHEN IT SHOWS BACK UP MOST OF THE TIME IT WILL HAVE CRAZY LETTERS AND START FLASHING. THE ICON WITH THE KEY HAS RECENTLY POPPED UP ON MY DASH WHICH STANDS FOR SOMETHING BEING WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM.

We promptly had the Honda HR-V towed to our local Honda dealership for diagnosis and repair, where we were presented with a bill totaling over $900, including sales tax, for replacing the fuel pump. Upon further reflection, I am conc…

Whenever it is cold, 45 degrees or colder, the right front display goes black. This is the display that gives fuel in fuel tank amount, mileage, and rpm. The display stays black until the car heats up, and this can be as long a 20-30 minutes. This is a dangerous situation, because you do not know how much fuel is in your tank. Additionally, if it turns out that you have low fuel, you risk running out of gas and being stuck in cold weather. Other issues can occur as well. This problem is widely reported online, and Honda has apparently done noth…

There are SEVERAL other people online dealing with the same issues for the 2016 Honda HRV ther…
