I just purchased a 2010 Odyssey EX-L w/ RES and I'm noticing a problem with the fuel gauge not correctly reporting how much gas we have left. We have less than 2k miles on the minivan so I've only been able to duplicate this a few times but each time we get around 300 miles on a tankful, the gas light comes on and the gauge will hit the E. I'm thinking that this can't be right so when I go fill up the tank, it will only take around 16 gallons. Since the Odyssey's have a 21 gallon tank, that means there's approx 5 gallons of gas still sitting in the tank.
Has anyone else noticed this problem on their Odyssey? What kind of fix can Honda do to correct this? Is this a simple fix as replacing the float or something more complicated? I can't believe that our car should be reporting an empty tank when there is in fact 5+ gallons of gas still in the tank.
My wife thinks that they installed the wrong size tank on our vehicle but I think the problem is more with the reporting of how much fuel is in there. Any help with this problem?
Thanks, - Chris
