I bought my vehicle a year ago. For the past 4 weeks I have now been smelling fuel odor in the passenger cabin. There is no particular pattern and at times it is so strong that I have had to open the window to breathe while driving. This only happens when the car is driving.

There is a fuel smell which is very noticeable when idling. The dealer said it is the winter fuel blend but winter is over and the smell is still there. This sounds like it could be dangerous at many levels.

The vehicle is emitting a very strong gas odor! it is most noticeable when I open the door from the house to the garage (every time.) the entire garage smells like gas. It is noticeable when stopped at a traffic light. It is noticed when coming back to the car after having gone into a store for a quick errand(s). I took the car to a Honda dealer. They kept it overnight and for most of a day. When I came in I was told that it was a just a new car smell. However, the smell continues and seems to be getting worse.

- Pewaukee, WI, USA

Fuel fumes in the vehicle and out of the vehicle. Very noticeable when parked in garage. We will not park in an enclosed area any more. When you first get in vehicle the fuel smell is strong; also strong when backing up. At highway speed the smell dissipates. Honda states its a known issue with no fix in sight! (they were able to duplicate the smell with no issue found!) this is a safety issue and we do not feel safe driving or parking this vehicle near our house.

In late November/early December, I began to smell gasoline fumes in the cabin of my 2016 Honda CRV. The problem has replicated after the vehicle has been driven for at least 20 minutes and then left idling. On January 7th when my car was dropped off at lia, I received a phone call within an hour stating that they replicated the smell. Lia Honda had my car for 35 days. On February 10th, they contacted me and told me they had not been able to replicate and I needed to pick up my vehicle. On February 21, I met with the district manger who stated that it is a known issue with 2016 Honda crvs but there is not currently a fix.after speaking with his field engineer, the dm said they currently have 46 cases of gasoline fumes entering the passager cabin. Honda corporate also admitted that they currently do not have a fix for the fumes being released into the passenger cabin. Lia Honda replaced the charcoal canister in an attempt to fix the release of fumes into the vehicle. On March 18, the fumes returned after an attempted repair. On March 20, lia refused to service my vehicle.

Gasoline smell comes into a cabin: -while driving, -when the engine starts after 5-10 min of resting gasoline smell comes outside out of the engine. The car was inspected at Honda authorized service and the issue was confirmed. The issue is not repairable on March 2017. There are following concerns: - the car may blow on a rode while driving - may cause a fire while stored in a garage - may cause health issues due to breathing gasoline fumes

Strong gasoline smell in cabin of vehicle, causing head ache burning eyes and nausea while operating.

- Newhall, IA, USA

CR-V cabin intermittently fills with gasoline fumes, stong gasoline ordor causes extreme respiratory distress, including burning, coughing, and choking. Honda said they are aware of the issue and there is no fix at this time. I am afraid to drive the car and they offer no solution. It happens upon starting, idling, driving, it circulates through the cabin, closing the vents helps slightly, strong gasoline smell also very prominent coming from under the hood at times. You can also smell it outside the vehicle. It is so strong it forces you to open the windows to breath, and pull over and open the doors. I have had the vehicle in for service to fix the problem and contacted another Honda service department the dealerships and Honda America are aware of the issue but have no fix. I was told to call Honda America, I did and I was told they are aware of the issue and have offered no solution. The car is new 3900 miles and at first was told to drive it to burn off the smell, part of being a new car, but it is getting worse.

The vehicle has a very strong smell of fuel (gasoline) in the passenger cabin after the engine has warmed up. It is especially strong when the car has been refueled, when the engine is warm and you are making frequent stops or are backing up. Honda service staff state Honda America is aware of the complaints with the 2016 CRV but they have not identified a problem nor do they have a fix. They did have me complete a questionaire at the dealership regarding the problem and they said Honda is having engineers look into the problem. In the mean time, the smell of gasoline can be so strong that it makes me nauseous and gives me a headache. I am quite sure breathing in the smell of toxic chemicals in a confined space is hazardous to a person's health and I am quite sure the head of Honda would not ride in a vehicle that wreeks of gasoline inside. I have had this vehicle 3 months and it has 2156 miles on it. In the beginning, I thought it was exhaust from cars in traffic around me. Then I thought I must have spilled gas on the gas when I filled the tank, but clearly it is not either of these issues. The gas smell is coming from the fuel system of the car and it not safe to ride in it. The garage smells like gasoline after the car has been sitting in it and turned off. The car does not usually smell like gas when I first turn it on or if I drive it a very short distance. When I drive to work (2 miles) and get out and it sits for 8 hours, I do not smell gas when I go home at the end of the day. It is when the car has been driven for 15 or more minutes and making multiple stops. The dealership said they have had other customers with similar complaints but no idea how to fix it. Meanwhile, I have a 3 month old $28,000 vehicle I cannot drive safely. Is there a way to meausure noxious fumes in the passenger cabin?

On start-up and when backing up intermittently the vehicle has a strong smell of raw gasoline inside the cabin. The car has not been recently fueled (currently has 1/4 tank). Dealership says that Honda has issued no service bulletins or communications for this issue. Online postings, and NHTSA complaints, show other 2016 CR-V owners are reporting the same issue.

The vehicle cabin smells like gasoline while driving. There are no leaks anywhere, this is persistent. I looked on a Honda CR-V forum and saw many people have the same problem. The dealership is unable to fix it, Honda has done nothing. There was a class action law suit filed for this problem.

Upon initial start the entire cabin of the vehicle smells of raw gas, coming in through vents. This is especially worse when in reverse such as backing out of the driveway, also this is present when idling in park or drive, such as sitting at a stoplight. The smell is so strong you are forced to open the windows until the vehicle is moving again.
