Tank Filler Pipe And Cap Problems of Honda Civic

I have 2004 Civic and I have a problem that is similar to one about the gas tank indicator. It started after my 30k service at the local Honda dealership. But, I did not complain to them, as I really do not trust these people. (they had quoted me for a full service, and then called me at work to say they had to replace the cabin filter, so added another $80. . . Total to well over $500. ) I knew if I went in with a problem they would take me for a ride again. Anyway the problem went away after I added stp fuel cleaner a couple of times into a full tank. Wall mart has these for about $2. 50 for three small bottles, each work a single clean. I love my Honda. Nothing much wrong with the vehicle. It is just a good natured car, other than when trying to break gently at very low speed, as it has a tendency to jump. At low speeds, I now give my self space and I break with regular pressure. First, all cars will have some problems. Nothing mechanical can be perfect. So be aware of this when servicing a car. Secondly, the problem is mainly with dealers. Honda ought to crack down on these crooks by having set rules posted on doors of dealerships over pricing, what ought to be in a service, when the regular service is, etc. Even after the fuel affair was done with, I now watch how many miles I drive and fill it every 250 miles or so. That way it can never run out of gas. A few days ago I filled it up after 246 miles. It only needed 6. 5 gallons to top it up! yes, that is over 39 mph on the highway mostly @ 65 mph. We as consumer should complain. We need Honda to be more aggressive with standards. If honest people sell cars for Honda, the image is that much better. Honda ought to watch out. I have driven cars from the competition that is better and better. They are a major engine away from catching up, but in the area of customer service they are passing Honda.

I stopped to get gas and I pushed the lever to access the gas cap. When I went outside it was not open. I tried multiple times to push the lever but nothing was happening. I went to a Honda dealership (different from where I bought my car) and the technician was able to open it but now I can't close it until I replace the cable. The technician stated that this is a common problem on Honda Civics. I do not understand why there would not be a recall for this if Honda is aware of this issue arising on multiple occasions.

On July 13, 2006 on my way home from a trip, I needed to refill my gas tank. I pulled the floor lever to release the flap that covers my gas cap and the lever did not work. Therefore, I was stranded 100 miles from home because it would not open. There is no manual release in the trunk. I had to be towed home as the aaa responder could not determine how to disengage the cable thereby releasing the flap. My car is less than 2 years old. When I spoke to the Honda mechanic he implied that this is a defect with this dual release lever and that they have been seeing this problem regularly. It took the mechanic just a minute to disengage the cable so that I could access the gas cap while they ordered a new lever cable. I asked if I could have a key release flap and my request was denied. So now I could face this problem again in the future. Seems like Honda should be required to either recall these cables or put a manual release in the trunk or send out a notice to all Honda owners and towing companies like aaa advising them as to how they can disengage the cable and avoid being stranded.

Gas cap is bad. Vehicle is losing gas because some of caps do not fit correctly, therefore fumes and gas leak out.
