Consumer Description

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. I GUESS I'M GLAD THAT SITES LIKE THIS EXIST...THANKS. *LA
