This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Fuel / combustion chamber odors accumulating around engine compartment when vehicle is parked in garage and filling the cabin with nauseating odor. This problem comes and goes with new resolution from dealer. Seem as an engine venting issue. Ongoing problem since new phurchase.
There is a persistent smell of fuel after my Ridgeline is warmed up/driven and then parked. The garage itself will smell strongly of gas afterwards and those fumes get pulled into the cabin via the fresh air intakes. When inspecting the engine bay, its smells far more strongly on the passenger side of the engine bay than the drivers.
Truck is getting gas fumes into the cabin intermittently. Smell comes through the A/C-heater vents. Does not happen when outside air circulation is shut off. Making owner get headaches and feel ill. Has been to the dealer twice for this, of which they have not established the issue. This is common for this maker and they have had other class action lawsuits regarding this. Happens when the truck is running. Can be when driving or sitting and idling. Can be at any location. Occasional feul smell outside the vehicle as well when truck is shut off.
Strong fuel odor coming from the engine compartment which is drawn in through the HVAC vents while stopped. It also makes my garage smell like gasoline for hours after the vehicle is shut off. The dealer said they couldn't find a fuel leak. It doesn't do it every time, but most of the time. It's not only nauseating, but also embarrassing because it makes my new Honda smell like an old car with a gas leak.
