    My car is increasingly smelling like gasoline and exhaust. Our garage smells strongly of gasoline. When i use a/c the cabin smells like exhaust. I just made a 5 minute trip to pick up my daughter and it made me feel dizzy. We have never skipped any maintenance on the vehicle, everything is up to date. The oddly gasoline-y smell in our garage has just suddenly gotten to the point where i realize it is coming from my…

    On 7/5/2016, i set out to drive my parents to an appointment. I am their full-time caregiver. My father has dementia & rheumatoid arthritis and my mother has alzheimer's. My 9 yr old golden retriever was also in the car. When i tried starting the car, it didn't want to turn over. But after a few tries, it started. No indicator lights came on, so i figured it was a fluke. I pulled out of the driveway, began driving…

    Check gas cap light repeatedly illuminates. Dealers and mechanics say "tighten gas cap" or replace. Does not solve problem. Problem is fuel pump creates high pressure and when excess fuel goes through pressure regulator, fuel flashes to vapor; tank loses vacuum and warning illuminates, driver stops car in traffic to check, causing safety problem. Hundreds of complaints on internet. Honda should be required to fix…

    I have a 2013 honda pilot, less than 1 month since purchase. At speeds from 20 mph to 70 mph my engine and car will, vibrate, shudder. There is also a low frequency noise that seems to vibrate in my ear which is also quite a distraction. It seems to happen most when i am on a flat or slight incline. The only way to get it to stop is to either speed up or let off the gas. This is very distracting while driving at…

    This report is for a new, 2013 honda pilot touring model with less than 100 miles on the odometer and has continued since. After the car is warmed up, and when the eco light illuminates, there is a shudder or a low frequency, rumbling vibration throughout the vehicle. This was first noticed while on the highway with cruise control set, but has since been observed at multiple speeds with or without cruise control.…
