First time the check engine light came on with a "Cold start, cylinder skip" error message. All they did was reset the computer. See 3rd complaint for more details.

problem #2

Jan 252010

Accord EXL 3.5L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 3,600 miles

At 3,600 miles, the check engine light came on but the car seemed to run fine. I had noticied a slight fuel smell from the exhaust only once. Sloan Honda dignosed it as a bad EGR Valve and replaced it. After it was replaced, the car is running very rough and I now have a vibration coming through the gas pedal and brake pedal when just idling. The car also does not have the same pick-up as it did prior to the EGR Valve replacement. Before this fix, the car was smooth and no vibrations or roughness. The car has been in twice now and they say everything is normal. At 3600 miles this car does not run like it did prior to the EGR Valve repair. There service department states nothing is wrong and it is normal. Service Dept is useless and ignoring the problem. Looking into a Lemon Law attorney and would NOT recommend SLOAN HONDA in PHILADELPHIA for sales OR Service.
