2003 HONDA ACCORD EX SEDAN WITH 4 CYLINDER. CAR HAS DEVELOPED HIGH IDLE 1800 RPM WHEN COLD. CAR WILL ACCELERATE (ACTUALLY JUMPS) TO 20 MPH WITH FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR. TAKES OVER +5 MINUTES BEFORE IT REDUCES TO A NORMAL IDLE (APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES WORTH OF DRIVING). THIS IS A REALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. ALSO EXPERIENCING THE ROTTEN EGG SMELL ENTERING INTO THE DRIVERS COMPARTMENT. THE AIR CONDITIONER (A/C) HAS A SERIOUS VIBRATION WHEN COMING ON THAT HAS HAD SEVERAL PASSENGERS ASK ME WHAT THE NOISE AND VIBRATION WERE. IT'S A SHAME SINCE I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES FOR THESE PROBLEMS AND CAME AWAY WITH THEM MAKING ME FEEL GUILTY AND THAT I'M THE ONLY ONE WITH THESE PROBLEM.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
AFTER MULTIPLE SERVICE VISITS, TEST DRIVES AND COMPLAINTS TO HONDA AMERICA AND MY HONDA DEALER, MY 03 ACCORD EX V6 COUPE'S WHINING TRANSMISSION WAS DETERMINED TO BE "NORMAL." ON MY FIRST DRIVE ON A FREEWAY AFTER PICKING UP MY CAR, MY HONDA FAILED TO ACCELERATE PAST 50 MPH AND THE TACHOMETER RED LINED, I RELEASED THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION JUMPED INTO 1ST OR 2ND GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A CAR BEHIND ME THAT DIDN'T HAVE ANY WARNING OF MY SUDDEN DECELERATION. IT TOOK A NEAR ACCIDENT FOR HONDA TO FINALLY REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION. *LA

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
A VERY SMALL PEBBLE (QUARTER OF THE SIZE OF A DIME) IN FORM OF ROAD DEBRIS, PUNCTURED THE AIR CONDITIONER (AC) CONDENSER. HONDA SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIRS UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT OTHER PEOPLE ALSO HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. HONDA NEEDS TO DESIGN A SHIELD FOR THE CONDENSER OR BUILD STRONGER CONDENSERS. COST OF REPAIRS WAS ALMOST $500!! THE CAR IS ALMOST BRAND NEW, ONLY 7500 MILES. *LA

STRUCTURE
2003 HONDA ACCORD COUPE HAS DEVELOPED LOOSE WINDSHIELD NOISES (POP AND CLICKS) WHEN SUSPENSION IS FLEXED OR CHALLENGED BY ROAD UNEVENESS. THE CAR ONLY HAS 1000 MILES ON IT AND THE COLD WEATHER BROUGHT OUT THE NOISES. I CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS STRUCTURAL DEFECT AND SOMEONE SHOULD INVESTIGATE THIS. THE CAR IS NOT WELDED TOGETHER WELL AT ALL.
