| My fuel gauge is not accurate: if the tank drops to half full, the gauge is unreliable and often registers more or less gas than there is. usually there is less gas than the gauge registers, but i've filled up the tank until the tank clicked, and the gauge still read 3/4 full. i've been browsing on some online forums, and this seems to be a common problem with the 2002 crv. on this site, it looks like 8 different people with 2002 honda crvs have posted the same complaint: http://www.topix.com/forum/autos/honda-cr-v/tphioaurac0i3t5o3 this is a safety hazard for me because i live in wi, where temperatures commonly reach below zero in the winter! i commute 50 minutes using a country road, and i could literally freeze if my gas gauge is unreliable, and i think that i have more gas than i have. (there are no public pay phones on my route, and there aren't always houses within walking distance.) this could, of course, also be a problem for anyone driving on the freeway who runs out of fuel due to a fault gauge/sending unit. i took it to a dealer in madison, wi, and the dealer said that the estimated cost was $450+ for parts and labor. help! do the right thing, honda, and issue a recall if this is a known problem. it does seem to be a flaw in the mass-produced component, not just individual quirk of one car/driver. | |||

| I own a 2002 honda cr-v. the gas tank cap has caused my check engine light to come on several times in the past. each time, i buy a new gas cap and the error goes away. i am on my 3rd gas cap and i'm getting a check engine light again. i will call honda to report this issue and to request a real fix to the problem. as stated by others, the check engine light is a warning to drivers. it's importance is watered down by spurious errors like this. honda needs to address this. *tr | |||

| My 2002 honda cr-v has a fuel filler defect which causes the check engine light to come on. changes in temperature or other weather related factors cause the filler cap to loosen and the light comes on. honda recommends manually tightening the cap past several clicks to ensure a tight seal after fueling. the cap loosens anyway accompanied by strong gasoline fumes from the loosened cap. honda knows of the problem. they replaced the fuel cap twice and once gave me a $ 300 estimate to replace the plastic gas tank filler pipe which is apparently the root cause of the problem. today was a warm day and the light was on all day as i drove. the issue is this: if the check engine light often comes on spuriously, a driver doesn't pay attention to what may be a legitimate warning for a serious engine problem that could have safety implications. in addition, the loose cap causes gasoline fumes to enter the passenger compartment. have there been other complaints about the filler cap issue? | |||

| While driving away from a riverside campsite, tried to straddle some ruts on the access road. vehicle slipped into the ruts and bottomed out slightly, but i was still able to drive out and did not get stuck. the bracket directly behind the gas tank on the undercarriage, which holds fuel system related components, was almost ripped off by this minor contact. it is the lowest part of the undercarriage and very vulnerable to damage without any sort of protection. 2 of 3 mounts were ripped loose, and the assembly was bent back to rub on the rear axle and hang down even lower. this problem was reported by other vr-v drivers who had to navigate deep snow and sand. sensitive fuel system parts should not be vulnerable to damage in this way! vehicle is out of warranty. i will have a custom made skid plate and mounting bracket installed if honda doesn't offer to fix for free with a new, safer design. *jb | |||

| In january of 2005 i ecnountered that my gas gauge intermittently does not go to full when i fill up the tank if the gas tank was 1/4 full or less. i brought the car into the honda dealership the first time and they could not find anything. i just got the car back yesterday, 3/23/2005, for the same problem and again nothing was done to fix the problem. my biggest concern is that the gauge will fail in the future with my daughter using this vehicle for college. i do not want her to run out of gas or have an accident on the highway if she runs out of gas due to a defective gas gauge reading problem.*ak | |||
