| Description of the problem | This vehicle gets a terrible smell of gasoline inside the vehicle, especially on initial start-up. This vehicle is unpleasant to drive do to this smell, especially in the winter with the climate control system on. My wife suffers from migraines and cannot ride in the vehicle. The problem was confirmed by my local honda dealership, valley honda, in aurora il. No resolution was provided as they indicated the smell is tied to the well know oil-dilution problem with this 1. 5 trbo engine, which they confirmed this vehicle also has (but for which no 'fix' has been issued in the u. S.) so now, not only am i damaging the new engine when driven, but also the occupant health by exposing them to gasoline fumes. This is just wrong on a new vehicle and needs a proactive recall asap. |
