What owners wrote
On may 15, I took my 2004 honda crv to the dealership for its first oil change. My daughter picked up the car 2 hours later and drove 1-2 miles when passerages in nearby cars began blowing their horns and telling her to get out of the car because it was on fire. Men in the car behind called the fire dept. And being mechanics checked the oil. It was "bone dry." fire dept. Called for sand to be laid. The car was towed to the honda dealership where they had cleaned it up by the time I got to the dealership.
This has happened more then once. I would be getting gas, and when the pump clicked to indicate that it was full I would take the nozzle out and the gas would come spilling out of the tank all over the side of the car and down the tire. This is very concerning to me. Im affraid of a fire. I haven't taken it to my mechanic yet. I have seen several complaints about this. I really hope honda looks into this.
