Sticky gas pedal since 2002 Accord was new

Tegger,

Thanks so much for your explanation and help.
I did call the dealer I bought the car from. And there IS a TSB for my
car.

They said to pursue this further with the dealer I am having it
serviced at- and because it’s a documented problem that was never
adequately fixed it’s covered under warranty. I will attempt to get my
dealer to fix this, but at this point I do not trust them.

The dealer I bought from is 150 miles away but it will be worth it to
return it to them.

I love my car and have had no probs with it except for this ongoing
problem. Will let you know how this all works out

 

Thanks for your help Tegger.
Bottom line- they’re gonna fix it!
I had to call Honda customer care to get it addressed, and I have to
take it to the far and away dealer to get it done, but it will get
fixed gratis.

I would have just sucked it up and never questioned them without your
help.

Incidentally, I spoke to the tech who did the work at the dealer who
"diagnosed" it last week. He said he never took off the valve cover
and PCV valve to inspect. They just gave me a price for what they said
"should fix it".

Thanks once again

 

You're lucky. Unless it's a Safety Recall, TSB repairs are often your
responsibility when the car's out of warranty. You must have been nice to
them.

He's a bad boy. He obviously doesn't know enough to check for TSBs and
recalls, which is the FIRST thing that should be done.

I love happy endings.
