I have a brand new 2010 Honda Civic GX ( natural gas vehicle) I purchased the car less than one month ago and have only driven the vehicle for the last week. I've been noticing the smell of natural gas and returned the vehicle to the Honda dealer. The dealer instructed me that the vehicle has a substantial leak coming from the pipes between the tank and exterior. Honda refuses to pay for the entire new tank and assembles and have opted to try and add new "o" rings. Honda does not seem very confident in the prescribed measures from Honda corporate and also don't seem very confident in repairing these types of vehicles. I'm very worried about the safety of these vehicles and would like to see if its an on going problem. These things can blow up if you have a leak of any kind. Thank god the car was parked out side and not in the garage by the dryer and water heater.
Dealership bought used car catches fire after just two days of purchase: I bought a used car with no warranty on it from a local dealership exactly two days ago. While driving on the second day of purchase, the car suddenly shut down and fumes started to come out of the car right and as I stopped the car on the side of the road, flames began to flicker out of the engine bay and within a minute or so, the entire car was engulfed in fire! I was able to call 911 and get out of the car in time, but the car's gone, completely. I am thinking that there may be some faults in the car that were not specified in the car fax report from the dealership because this is not an everyday occurrence that a car sets in fire. Now, as my insurance doesn't cover this type of fire damage (liability insurance) I am stuck between a rock and a hard place and I dealer is not ready to CO-operate. This is a big financial loss for me and I am seeking help to recover such big loss. The experience was very traumatizing for me as well for my girlfriend who was with me. This has definitely left us with ptsd.
