1987 Honda Accord Fuel system Problems

“Consumer states fuel line is crossing under the driver mat and is leaking gas due that lines being rusted. Dealer notified. The fuel line was replaced. Consumer questioned what's going to happen the next time it rust through or a passenger is smoking?”

“The car has a strong gas odor after car turned off coming from the fuel filter/line area. The recall order says that they should do it for free. The car is under a recall order (order #92v028001) for corroded fuel lines & fittings. When I took the car in for them to check the lines/fittings, as outlined in the recall order, they said that they would charge me $34 just to see if it was covered under the recall order.”

“Received recall notice 92v028001. Contacted dealership, and took vehicle for fuel tank filler repair. Was suppose to replace fuel filler. Later found out filler was not replaced due to cap not fitting properly. Filler was rusty. Contacted dealership, and mechanic indicated that filler was only spray painted and not replaced.”

“Consumer received a recall concerning fuel tank filler neck leak. Took vehicle to the dealer, and they just looked at it. Dealer never changed the tube because at that time it was not leaking. Currently consumer saw fuel leaking under the vehicle. He examined vehicle, and discovered that the leak was next to the filler neck hose. Consumer did not know whether recall repairs could be performed because it had been a long time since he received the recall notice.”

“Consumer took vehicle into dealership to have the recall (92v-028) performed, the repair was not sufficient and the consumer had to have the fuel filler pipe replaced (jan-13-00) due to rust which caused fumes to enter into the vehicle, consumer was denied reimbursement for the repair.”
