Filled fuel tank on my way to work, after driving to work on the freeway could smell fuel, thought it could just be residual on my hands since I just filled up. Went to lunch and smelled fuel again only stronger now, when I backed out of the parking space to return to work I noticed a large wet spot under my car, got out and looked under my car, could see bottom of fuel tank was wet. Drove to work, removed my rear seat to access top of tank, noticed fuel was leaking out of top of fuel pump when the key is turned on, went to Honda dealer near my work and purchased a pump, parts associate mentioned they fail regularly, seems to me there should be some sort of recall for a fuel leak that happens regularly.

Noticeable gas smell, especially when engine turned off. Diagnosed by independent mechanic. 2" crack on plastic cover of fuel pump module. Repair cost over $400. He indicated that he has had 3 Honda w/ this issue in 2 weeks. This would seem a significant safety issue, especially w/ the placement of this unit under the rear seat. Fortunately no smokers in this car. The smell had been slightly noticeable for about 3-4 weeks but became stronger after a trip w/ longer drive times than daily usage. A 6-10 mpg decrease became obvious at this time as well.

This car has a defective transmission. Unknown to me, it came that way from the dealer. A couple Honda dealerships acknowledged the problem. It first started slipping around 40,000 miles. I had the transmission fluid changed ahead of schedule and the problem went away. This was when they told me of the class action law suit and the recommended fixes. The transmission initially failed at 54,300 miles. Stevens creek Honda cleaned the transmission with a special detergent and replaced the fluid. They said if the problem came up again before 109,000 miles they would have to "burnish? the transmission. What I didn't realize is that the detergent cleaning was a ?band-aid? fix so that the dealership could avoid the more costly fixes they were obligated to perform under the terms of the lawsuit. The car performed normally again. I would have the fluid replaced more that normal during service visits. The transmission failed again at 154,600 miles. Now they don?T want to cover the cost because it is now longer under warranty, or covered by the terms of the class action lawsuit. This is essentially fraud. They did a cheap ineffective cleaning in order to avoid and expensive repair they were supposed to do. I will never buy a Honda again?"
