Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | When my 2012 civics fuel tank is filled all the way, the gas seems to flush back and forth while stopping or parking on hills. It makes a loud noise and the gas slams into the walls of the fuel tank. This is unsafe because it throws off the balance of the car by having the gas flow in such an abrupt manner. In no way, shape, or form should a 2012 civic have this problem. The last thing a new car owner wants is a loud noise from the fuel tank everytime they brake, stop, or park on hills. The dealership said there was nothing they could do about it and that all the other 2012 civics had the same problem. Honda needs to fix this issue. |
