Two problems related to other fuel system tank assembly have been reported for the 2016 Honda CR-V. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2016 Honda CR-V based on all problems reported for the 2016 CR-V.
The vehicle has a very strong smell of fuel (gasoline) in the passenger cabin after the engine has warmed up. It is especially strong when the car has been refueled, when the engine is warm and you are making frequent stops or are backing up. Honda service staff state Honda America is aware of the complaints with the 2016 crv but they have not identified a problem nor do they have a fix. They did have me complete a questionaire at the dealership regarding the problem and they said Honda is having engineers look into the problem. In the mean time, the smell of gasoline can be so strong that it makes me nauseous and gives me a headache. I am quite sure breathing in the smell of toxic chemicals in a confined space is hazardous to a person's health and I am quite sure the head of Honda would not ride in a vehicle that wreeks of gasoline inside. I have had this vehicle 3 months and it has 2156 miles on it. In the beginning, I thought it was exhaust from cars in traffic around me. Then I thought I must have spilled gas on the gas when I filled the tank, but clearly it is not either of these issues. The gas smell is coming from the fuel system of the car and it not safe to ride in it. The garage smells like gasoline after the car has been sitting in it and turned off. The car does not usually smell like gas when I first turn it on or if I drive it a very short distance. When I drive to work (2 miles) and get out and it sits for 8 hours, I do not smell gas when I go home at the end of the day. It is when the car has been driven for 15 or more minutes and making multiple stops. The dealership said they have had other customers with similar complaints but no idea how to fix it. Meanwhile, I have a 3 month old $28,000 vehicle I cannot drive safely. Is there a way to meausure noxious fumes in the passenger cabin?.
On start-up and when backing up intermittently the vehicle has a strong smell of raw gasoline inside the cabin. The car has not been recently fueled (currently has 1/4 tank). Dealership says that Honda has issued no service bulletins or communications for this issue. Online postings, and NHTSA complaints, show other 2016 Cr-v owners are reporting the same issue.
