Car idles high and eratic since a new alternator was put on due to light(in and out) flickering along with fan and radio cutting out when a/c unit is used and cooling fans kick on and off. Since then car idles high, surges went fron tacking 1100 cold to 1500. Went from warm idle at 600 and is now 8-900rpms. Lights still do the same thing but they agree there was a voltage drop after two dealers said it was acharcteristic. After two month the cars going back in for a second seat track and a syl plate that was damaged. Now along with a list of problems the front bumper is pealing in same spot on left and right side near headlights. I alreadt complained about the bumpers not fitting. Dealer did idle relearn procedeure that did nothing. Check fuel cap message comes on and check engine light was on. They claim after 20 years of driving and 4 Hondas,I don't know how to put a gas cap on. Worst car I ever had. The worst part is the attitude of the dealers and Honda. I have been waiting for over two months for a rep,las time dealer snuck a note in that I refused to see the rep. I faxed them a demand letter to see the rep and another dealer was also supposed to set a meeting up. They claim he is out with a bad back(philadelphia area rep,)I am suing Honda under the lemon law. I had enough. The suit was filed and my court date is in October,contact me with any questions or comments. Car alo smell like a rotten egg.
