During acceleration vehicle loses power for several seconds. intermittent failure while merging onto high-speed highway.
Water enters between the two flaps on the capless fuel filler. if temperatures are below freezing the outer flap will freeze. happens when it is raining or going through a car wash. you can sit there and push in the outer flap and see water streaming out of it.
The capless gas fill system allows water to get in the fill neck. the water can then freeze and make it difficult or impossible to put a fuel nozzle into the vehicle. the only way to temporarily correct the issue is to melt the ice.
Ice build-up in fuel fill neck causing inability to refuel. ice forms on flap inside fill neck preventing introduction of fuel fill nozzle.
In the winter water gets into the fuel filler neck causing the car unable to be filled cannot put the nozzle in recommend put a seal on the inside of the door so the door will seal and water won't enter between the cover
Water is entering the area between the inner and outer flaps on the fuel filler neck and freezing. fueling can not be performed until the ice is removed. water entering this area will also cause fuel contamination in warm months with engine failure.
Capless fuel filler defect. water gets in chamber and in freezing temperatures, drainage holes get plugged with ice and subsequent water enters, builds up, creates blockage and prevents flap from opening and vehicle cannot be gassed up. not being able to put gas in vehicle and being stranded in sub-freezing temps is dangerous to say the least. read more description of the problem at ridgeline owner's group forum: http://www.ridgelineownersclub.com/forums/185-2g-problems-fixes-tsb-s/157474-gas-filler-neck-locked-frozen-water-inside-23.html
Water gets in fuel filler cap (outer hinge) and freezes. ice dam in the fuel filler area prevents fuel hinge from being opened, which prevents vehicle from being fueled. vehicle was stationary when i discovered the problem (parked next to the fuel pumps). has happened on two separate occasions.
Water gets in between the first and second flap of the capless fuel filler neck and freezes. this happens when it is raining and the temperature drops below freezing. if the temperature is above freezing the water just sits between the two flaps. i don't know when (stationary, in motion, turning etc) it is getting in there. it happens when it is raining.
Water collects behind capless fuel filler flapper and in cold temperatures, an ice plug forms behind flapper. ice plug prevents opening flapper to insert gas nozzle and and inability to refuel vehicle.
