The contact owns a 2012 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked in the driveway, the contact attempted to start the vehicle, but the vehicle would not start. The contact self-diagnosed the vehicle with a code reader which showed that the MAP sensor needed to be cleaned. The contact cleaned the MAP and mass airflow sensor, however, the failure recurred.

I HAVE OWNED MY 2012 ACCORD LX-P MODEL SINCE 2013 THROUGH PURCHASE AFTER AN EXPIRED LEASE. IT IS A DEALER "CERTIFIED" VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM I HAVE RECENTLY ENCOUNTERED IS THE STRONG SMELL OF GAS TANK FUMES AFTER A FILL AND ALSO AFTER A LONG TRIP. THE ODOR HAS BECOME STRONGER IN THE CABIN OF THE CAR WHILE THE SMELL STILL LINGERS AT THE GAS CAP/FILL TUBE/ WHEEL WELL AREA. THE 2013 MODEL HAS THE SAME CONDITION AND IS NOTED AS A RECALL. MY MODEL WAS MANUFACTURED IN JUNE 2012. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THE PART AND OR MANUFACTURING PROCEDURE IS RELEVANT TO THE DEFECT IDENTIFIED IN THE ADJOINING YEAR 2013 MODEL. ALTHOUGH RECALLS ARE DECLARED THROUGH THE CORPORATE SOURCE, WE MUST EXPECT CONSUMERS TO BE ALERT AND REPORT THESE CONDITIONS. GAS VAPOR IS DANGEROUS AND UNWANTED FOR ANY DRIVER OR HONDA CUSTOMER. HONDA DECLARES SAFETY IS THEIR MOST IMPORTANT PARAMETER. I WANT THIS MODEL TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL LISTING SINCE ACCORD RECALLS FOR GAS PROBLEMS ARE HISTORICALLY DECLARED IN THE PILOT, ODYSSEY ACURA(2015-2016), 2012 CIVIC AND 1983,1984,1985,1986,1987,2005,2013 ACCORDS. GAS RELATED ISSUES SHOULD BE THE UTMOST CONCERN FOR A MANUFACTURER AND THE HISTORICAL RELEVANCE OF THIS MATTER SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH THIS CASE AS WELL. *TR
