problem #4

Pilot

  • 500 miles
After the break-in period of the vehicle, and ever since then, when the air-conditioning is set on recirculate, if the gas pedal is pushed hard (for example to go up a steep hill), a smell of rotten eggs enters into the cabin. It does not do it as bad if the air conditioning is set on "fresh air". the windows are closed and no other cars are ahead of mine when it happens. I am not that worried about the smell (although it is an inconvenience). I am worried about this meaning that there is exhaust leaking into the cabin all the time at highway speed, it's just that most of the time it can't be smelled. Three trips to the dealership has not resulted in a fix for this since they keep saying there is nothing wrong with it.
