Description of the problem | You can hear the fuel moving around the gas tank and banging against the gas tank walls whenever i stop. It is most severe when the tank is full. I complained to the honda dealer where i purchased the vehicle about the noise. The dealer let me know that the noise i was hearing was the fuel moving around in the fuel tank, due to a design change in the 2012 model which removed the fuel tank baffles. The dealer will not fix this issue on my car. I called and wrote to honda directly complaining about this issue and requesting resolution and they have not responded. |
