1 Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 08/14/2009

The contact owns a 2007 Honda Civic. While driving 70 mph the front left tire struck a piece of wood and ruptured the fuel tank. The contact inspected the vehicle and noticed that the vehicle was leaking gasoline. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer who stated that there was a hole in the fuel tank. The vehicle is currently being repaired at a cost of $640. 00. The contact is in the process of contacting the manufacturer. The contact does not feel the repair will remedy the failure since the dealer is replacing the failed component with a plastic fuel tank without a guard to protect the fuel tank from road debris or recurring. The failure mileage was 54,000 and the current mileage was 54,010.

2 Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 08/18/2008

Upon reading report # 10235631 on Honda Civic 2007, "a sound like water rushing from the rear underside of car upon braking and accelerating": my 2007 Honda civic does this also. It is obvious to me that it is the partial tank of gasoline sloshing back and forth inside the gas tank. Most, if not all, cars' gas tanks have sheet metal baffles inside the gas tank to limit the sloshing of fuel upon motion of car. Either the baffles are not adequate or non-existent. Dealer just looks at me when I mentioned this. I know cars inside and out, as I have done almost all of the mechanical repairs on my cars for 55 years, including the innards of the gas tank. "it's a no-brainer" !.
