Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problems of the 2013 Honda Accord

The hose on the gas tank has a hairline crack in it. The only way to repaint is to change the whole gas tank which is $1200. The fuel tank is on backorder so obviously others have had issues with it. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly; 3 - VIN corrected, error in one position (assuming check digit is correct); 14 - unable to provide information for all the characters in the VIN. #vpic#.

While trying to diagnose the check engine light my mechanic noticed that the fuel tank has a crack at the top of the tank which leaks gasoline when filled up. This is the same issue that has been reported and recalled for some other 2013 Accords but not ours. Honda needs to issue a recall for any vehicle that this is happening to. But as it currently stands they are not.

When we fill gas to the full tank, it is smelling.

Mouse nest discovered in engine after malfunction light came on. Mouse chewed through tubes to gas tank resulting in needing a whole new gas tank. Light first came on after being parked in my driveway.

I have Honda Accord white ex-l since 11/10/2012 with current mileage of 16,300. 1. Recently, I went to my mechanic to have air pressure checked on my car, since I was going for a long trip. While, air pressure was being checked, I left the car on in accessory mode for about 3 minutes. When I went on to turn the car on, it wouldn't turn on. Dash board lights, flickered at every attempt, when I tried turning on the car. My mechanic checked the battery, he said, battery is dead. I had the battery replaced. Once battery was replaced, mechanic checked alternator. He stated, alternator is not working properly. I told him, I will take the car to Honda dealer. This reminded me, that same thing happened on 7/4/2014, where I had left the hazard lights on and radio on at the same time in power mode for about 5 minutes. I called Honda care, 1st driver, couldn't jump start my car. 2nd driver came, and he was able to jump start my car. He stated battery was fine at that time. However, I just realized, my driver side window was taking lot longer to open and close than it should. With new battery, I will bring car to dealer to have the car checked. Also, since above instances, I turn off my headlights from auto mode, and also interior lights from dimming or turning off automatically to save battery from draining. 2. Since I bought the car in November 2013, I have noticed that, I can hear fuel moving in the fuel tank. In my old 2000 Honda Accord, I never heard such a thing. 3. Since 2012, I have gotten alignment done 3 times, but I still feel the vibration through out my car, and car feels like wobbling in the front. 4. Not happy with mpg. In city, I get 9 to 11 mpg. Highway, it is just about 32 to 35 mpg as advertised and tested. 5. Sometimes, when putting on the driver side seat belt, it gets stuck. I have to retract it and than I am able to secure it in seat belt clip.

Tl- the contact owns a 2013 Honda Accord sedan. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, a strong odor of fuel was noticed. The contact observed the vehicle while parked and noticed a leak of fuel. The failure occurred constantly. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel tank line was leaking and needed to be replace. The vehicle was repaired. The VIN was not included in the NHTSA campaign number: 13v297000(fuel system, gasoline). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 35,829. Jo.

No accident. Smell of fuel leak at all times but not able to determine source of leak. Especially noticeable after fuel is added to tank.
