I'll make this short. I've had ever TSB there is performed on my 05'. The last being the gas tank replacement. My car RAN OUT OF GAS today, despite my guage reading nearly 1/4 full. I am just about fed up with the continual trips to the service dept. . I've tried to dismiss my problems as first year build headaches, but this was the last straw for me I'm afraid.

I will be looking at a trade tomorrow, although I love the styling of my car.

Sounds like your tank re-install wasn't done quite right.

I am sad that their poor performane on service as spoiled the experience for you. Let us know how things work out!

when you fill your gas do you take the key out of the ignition?
If you dont the gage and computer may not show accurate readings

It does sound like there is obviously still an issue with the tank. Instead of getting rid of the car why don't you just have them swap the tank out again? I'd hate to see you get rid of the car for something that can be solved with an easy replacement.

I understand the frustration. I'm getting sick of waiting for parts, having them show up 3 months down the road, installed then having to take it back the following week for either the same problem or one they caused from fixing the last. I LOVE this car and it must be love, because with any other car I would have traded it in for another Honda by now.

No, I guess I am the lucky one. I have had my Vert since March 18th and I have had no issues at all. Not one complaint!!!!!!!
