    Upon initial start the entire cabin of the vehicle smells of raw gas, coming in through vents.

The smell is so strong you are forced to open the windows until the vehicle is moving again.

    The cabin of my brand new vehicle fills with gas fumes randomly while the engine is running. The fumes fill the cabin while idling, starting, and driving down the road. The fumes are very strong and i do not feel safe driving this vehicle for any distance. The honda dealership service department and the honda tech center are aware of the problem but do not have a remedy.
