Consumer Description

BOUGHT NEW 2003 ACCORD EX IN 1/03. SINCE HAVING THE CAR, THERE HAS BEEN A DAILY TERRIBLE "ROTTEN EGG" SMELL COMING FROM THE EXHAUST. DEALER CLAIMS THAT IT IS FROM THE WINTER BLEND OF GAS, BUT MY OLD CAR NEVER HAD THIS SMELL AND NO ONE I KNOW THAT HAS A CAR HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. THE SMELL IS SO BAD THAT PEOPLE GETTING OUT OF BACK DOORS WILL PLUG THEIR NOSES AND I MUST KEEP HEAT/AIR ON RECIRCULATE AND KEEP WINDOWS SHUT BECAUSE WHEN I STOP AT A LIGHT ETC..., THE SMELL GETS INTO THE CABIN. IF DEALER CONTINUES TO "NOT FIND A PROBLEM" I WILL CONSIDER LEMON LAW LAWSUIT.
