Description of the problem	The gas overflows when filling the tank. It literally fountains out of the tank. The gas runs down the side of the car onto the tires and brakes. I am very concerned about the risk of fire when that gas hits hot brakes. I see several other complaints about the same problem on various websites, including honda's site. I bought the car new in 2004. I had no problem for a year. Then suddenly the gas overflowed one day when filling the tank. I took the vehicle to the dealership immediately. They couldn't replicate the problem and said there was nothing they could do. Over the next four or five years the gas overflowed sporadically, probably 3 or 4 times over five years. I almost always use marathon gas. I don't overfill the tank. When the pump clicks off, i typically wait a second, and then remove the nozzle. I will put the nozzle back on the pump and then turn to put the gas cap on, and sporadically, i find the gas literally fountaining out of the tank. In june or july 2009, it happened again on a very hot day and i was extremely concerned. I drove immediately to the dealership again and this time they informed me that a valve, integral to the gas tank, had gone bad and that the entire tank would have to be replaced. That was done. All was fine for the next 20 months. But just last week, the same problem happened again. I am very, very concerned about a possible fireball happening because the gasoline fountains out of the tank, runs down the side of the car, hitting the tires and brakes, and then pools onto the ground. I've had probably a half liter of gasoline fountain out like that. Please look at the other complaints that have been filed. This is truly a safety hazard. I am beginning to think it would be safer for me to have my child outside of the car when refueling this vehicle. It's truly scary when it happens. Thank you very much for looking into this problem. I am waiting for honda's resolution and repair now.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
