2025 Elite Gas Smell
I have 2015 and 2025 Odysseys. Recently (24k miles) the 2025 periodically smells like gas inside. Makes kids and I feel sick. A little better if I turn air recirculating off. Made appointment with dealership but the problem was brushed off - service advisor stated this is a known issue, but no recalls or fixes, though Honda in CA is supposedly “investigating “ the issue. Anyone else with this issue??? Seems dangerous not just annoying. In addition to the poor A/C compared to my 2015, this issue makes me disappointed in Honda.
UPDATE: report back from the dealership “ customer states fuel smell, states entire garage smelled. Please inspect and advise. Unable to verify customer concern. No fuel smell was present. Brought vehicle into the shop and lifted vehicle in the air. Inspected fuel EVAP system. No fuel leaks were found at this time. Vehicle passed EVAP system function test. Inspection only.”
So nothing. I feel better it’s not a fuel leak. They also sent me a video. Hopefully if more and more people report the same concern, there will eventually be a recall. Doing more online searching, I am concerned it’s related to the capless gas tank.
I appreciate everyone’s input, insight, and personal experiences!
