My fuel tank all of a sudden started leaking. It all started as a gradual issue. Very random and unusual. I always get this car serviced. Honda denies any part of the defect and was informed car does not qualify any warranty at 93k miles. Tank had cracked and this is unusual for a lightly driven car. First signs were gas fumes all over the garage. Consumer had a local shop check the car there were no leaks. Consumer had 0.5 of the tank filled.

Request for issuance of recall. 2006 Civic: Engine does not start, and the immobilizer system makes car inoperable, especially if the battery recently went dead and the engine was jump-started. The dome light in my car, 2006 Civic ex sedan, was left on the and battery was dead, and then car was jump started. After that the immobilizer system prevented the car from starting. 1. this is a well-known design defect (Honda defect code: 03217) reported in many, many postings and comments on the internet, over many years, from 2006 until recently, both here in the U.S. and in the uk. See extracts from numerous internet reports in attachment (internet reports - problem.docx). 2. there is no warning about this problem or information in the owner's manual for this car, or any notification from Honda, on the correct way to jump start the car to avoid the problem. See jump starting section in attachment (2006 ex owner's manual.pdf) 3. Honda has issued: "service bulletin - August 2, 2006 06-036 - immobilizer indicator is blinking, engine won't start symptom the engine does not start, and the immobilizer indicator is blinking (especially if the battery recently went dead and the engine was jump-started). Probable cause the immobilizer imoes code has been erased. Vehicles affected: 2006 Civic 4-door LX and ex (usa-produced) ' from VIN 1hgfa1...6L000001 thru 1hgfa1...6L118712 corrective action replace the under-dash fuse/relay box (micu - multiplex integrated control unit) 2006 Civic ex 4-door A/T ' P/N 38200-sna-A32, H/C 8356198" see the complete Honda service bulletin 2009-08-23_151940_immob.pdf in attachment (service bulletin 06-036.pdf) cost of repair to customer - approx. $700-$800. An expensive repair should not be needed simply for jump starting a car with a dead battery - a normal procedure that any car can sometimes need. A recall should be issued.

Fuel gauge operates intermittently. Gauge may show as 'full' when empty; or indicate 'empty' when full. At times, gauge lighting is off and will not reflect either 'full' or 'empty' fuel tank. Has also indicated as containing fuel in tank, when in reality is near empty, which may cause driver to run out of fuel without sufficient warning.

Fuel pumps are leaking from the top of pump housing and are filling up the cubby hole that they sit in, with gas. This pump has a access hole under the rear seat and fumes can be smelled inside and outside of the cars, with some leaking on the ground. It also is know to be on some Odyssey as well. If parked in the garage overnight the fumes could fill the area and be ignited by a water heater or some other source. I have replaced many of these pumps over the years and Honda dealers are doing the same with no concern that they are a defect and could cause a potential safety risk.

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Civic. The contact stated that there was a strong gasoline fuel odor. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The contact referenced NHTSA campaign id number: 07V512000 (fuel system, other:storage:tank assembly) that could have been related to the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised that the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 103,000.
