I am beyond irritated that I have a car that has this issue! The emission/engine warning light came on - meaning the gas cap was loose or I had an emission problem. Boy, did I! I am getting it replaced Monday.

Upon researching here, I am calling my mechanic to make sure they don't give me another soy or bio-lined anything in the fuel line/gas tank replacement! I suspect more people will have this issue if they are parking their cars while working from home in these COVID and post-COVID times!

Not a very Merry Xmas present to get in December!

This is the 2nd time a rodent has chewed through the apparently soy fuel lines in my Honda CRV. It is a major pain in the neck and I'm again out of a car. The expense last time was covered by my insurance at like $1500 including rental car. This time it will be over $1000 again. I will be out my deductible yet again. Honda should issue a recall and fix this problem.

To learn that Dealer has seen many similar problems with Honda Wiring and Fuel Lines - and that even though vehicle is still within Warranty the Fuel Tank as well as the Fuel Lines are to be replaced - instead of just replacing the Lines - is adding insult to injury! Honda refused to accept the Cost whilst the vehicle is still under Warranty - even though they know that it is the materials used that are the cause of the problem: if nothing else - they have a moral obligation whilst under Warranty - to deny any responsibility whatsoever under any conditions deserved to be challenged in Court!

While sitting at a drive thru at a fast food restaurant, someone walked up to my car and said "you have gasoline pouring out of your car". I quickly drove it home and by the time I got home the gasoline smell was overwhelming and I had lost 1/2 tank of gas. I had it towed to the dealership and was told that rodents had chewed through the gas lines which I found out were soy based causing rodents to be attracted to them. At a cost of $956 they could fix it but it was not covered under the extended warranty that I had purchased when I purchased the care. Honda stated that there is no recall on this vehicle because it is not a safety concern. I TOTALLY DISAGREE. If someone had thrown out a cigarette while I was sitting in the drive thru, I would have gone up in flames. I cannot see that this is not a safety hazard.

CR-V EXL

  • CVT transmission
  • 25,000 miles

Had our 2015 CR-V for less than a year with no problems. Until I was dropping off my 6 week old daughter off at my mom's house. Starting smelling gas in the cab as soon as I pulled into her driveway so I hurried up and got my daughter out and took her in the house I walked back out to a stronger smell of gas and three quarters of a tank of gas running out from under my car down her drive way. My husband later found where it started leaking in our driveway. So I drove miles leaking fuel. I am thankful nothing worse happened to me or my daughter during the drive.

I had the car towed to Allan Nott Honda in Lima, Ohio. Before they even looked at what caused it my husband asked if it would be covered under warranty. The service guy said it should be unless it's "rodent gnawing". He thought it was weird for the guy to even mention that. Originally they had sold us on the warranty and how we wouldn't have to worry about replacing or doing anything to the car except brakes and tires. It sounded too good to be true and it was. Turns out it was rodent gnawing and it isn't covered under warranty and it's an issue that Honda has known about for years. They use a soy based wire covering that is apparently delicious to mice, squirrels, and other rodents. But not to worry, Honda has a fix. They wrap the lines in a special tape that repels these rodents. WHY NOT DO THAT FROM THE BEGINNING HONDA?

The fact Honda dealerships are collecting hundreds of thousands of dollars for fixing a problem they created themselves. They wanted to charge us 1450.00 to fix our plastic fuel line and wrap it in the repellent tape. If that's not crooked and scheming of them, I don't know what is. I guess that is one way to get repeat business. Keep selling cars with known safety issues. We had our car towed to another dealer to fix.

I read somewhere that Honda was involved in a lawsuit over rodents chewing wiring and fuel lines because these items are soy based.I was setting in a lot at a restaurant when someone told me gasoline was pouring out of the back of my car.This could have been very dangerous if someone would have by and threw down a cigarette.
