Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problems of the 2013 Honda Civic

I started my car and noticed a gasoline smell. Drivers side door was open. While the car was still running I stepped around to check the exhaust and noticed liquid pouring from underneath my car on the drivers side near the rear wheel. I realized this was gasoline coming from somewhere near the gas tank. It only poured out when it the cars ignition was in the the 2nd position and running - meaning while the fuel system was under pressure. Having it towed at great expense to carmax. I could have died had I not seen this huge leak!!!.

There is a leak from the gas tank on the 2013 Honda Civic. ~ 33000 miles are on the Honda Civic. Many different sources of ignition could cause a fire, or potentially an explosion. The vehicle was stationary when I determined there was a leak. Car was towed back to dealer: curry Honda, chamblee, GA 30341.

This problem was not evident during the pre-purchase test drive because the vehicle did not have the gas tank full. However, upon driving the vehicle off the dealer lot post purchase, and during the entire subsequent ownership period, the vehicle exhibited relatively loud thud / knocking noise coming from the rear/fuel tank area upon stopping in urban driving conditions with gas tank full to half empty. The sound was of a sloshing liquid in a container (fuel?), evident in low speed braking and/or going over speed bumps. This is very annoying and completely ruined my ownership experience with Honda. I never experienced anything like this with similar models made by competition (Nissan sentra and mazda3) and owned by me prior to buying 2013 Honda Civic. I would not recommend and, most likely, would not purchase Honda vehicles myself.

Tl-the contact owns a 2013 Honda Civic. The contact stated while coming to a stop, the brake pedal was depressed and a slight vibration occurred. In addition, a loud sloshing sound of fuel emitted from the fuel tank. The failure recurred only when driving at low speeds or coming to a stop. The dealer was able to duplicate the problem, however they were unable to remedy the problem. The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 125. Js.

You can hear fuel sloshing around in fuel tank when tank is full when stopping, going from a stop, going up or down a driveway very annoying. Has been happening since the car was brand new.
