| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Since i bought my new 2003 honda accord at the end of the 2003 year, i smelled sulfur. i was told it was the battery and it would go away. it never did. i kept telling the dealer and service. the sulfur and rotten egg smell came from the ac, and the heat (both of which didn't work), sulfur from the rear and all over interior..i got sick with severe migraines and nauseous for 5-7 days with emergency room visits following medium to long drives with the air on and even if the air was not on...the sulfur smell was always present and service blamed me and told me the gas in ny was bad, and then told me i should be driving 50,000 miles per year and then there would be no sulfur smell. i kept falling asleep at the wheel. my doctor mentioned checking the carbon monoxide with a detector..it was positive...the fire department verified that i had carbon monoxide inside my car - deadly. i was being poisoned for two years with carbon monoxide poisoning fro two years by the exhaust coming into the car. the fire dept. told me to not drive the car at all or to drive with all the windows wide open...even in the freezing winter.....my mother is elderly and i am disabled on chemotherapy also all this made our situation quite heinous. still honda did not help me and they kept hanging up on me. i would have died if i drove the amount that honda told me to. i would have been poisoned. i do not want this car....i just want my life back and to feel safe with the car i drive. i will never feel safe with this car. carbon monoxide inside the car is deadly and why no one has addressed this issue along with the catalytic converter is shocking. no one ever notified me of the catalytic converter even when i brought the car in. even with at least two tsb's why did honda not know to address the problem and why didn't they ever contact me. i just want this car out of my life forever. i have gotten very ill from the carbon monoxide poisoning and the long term effects are serious. *jb |
