2014 Honda CR-V Fuel system Problems

“Engine caught fire in my 2014 Honda CR-V while I was driving to work the morning of january 19, 2017. I purchased the CR-V new in early 2015. At the time of the engine fire there was 49,585 miles on the vehicle. The only work ever completed on the CR-V were timely oil and filter changes, and tire rotations. There was not any suggested or required work that was not completed. There was nothing unusual with the car, no noises, no odors, and I was the last person to drive the vehicle prior to this day. …”

I moved the left rear seat to expose the fuel pump housing and found a pool of gas around the top of the gas tank at the fuel pump. I found a hole had worn through the hard plastic fuel line about 6 inches from the pump caused by rubbing on the underside of the rear seat metal frame. I repaired the holed area of the fuel line with the proper hard plastic fuel line repair kit.”

“The engine does not respond (intermittently) to the throttle. This makes for a very dicey situation when turning across oncoming traffic or accelerating from a full stop, e.g., a traffic signal. To overcome the problem, you have to quickly let up on the accelerator pedal and just as quickly apply pressure to the pedal to get the engine to respond.
