03 Accord Coupe - Bad Luck or ???
Hey, I just picked up my 03 accord coupe ex v6 w/ nav .
30 miles later... the car starting chocking/stalling.
when trying to accelerate it would rock and not go any faster.
at times it wouldn't want to even maintain speed.
I had to pull over 7 times , turn the car off and then on.. and continue. finally made it to the dealer and was given a loaner!
(they hooked it up to a comp to check for error codes but saw none... but then took it for a spin and saw the problem... they were closing and will check it out monday)
anyone else have this problem or may know the cuase or possible cuases?
thanks please let me know

Hope you get it fixed ok, it sounds like it could be a problem with aceelerator. This year they went with an electronically controled throtle like a BMW or Mercades. It makes for a really smooth system, but a problem on some vehicles would not suprise me. And after all that is why cars have a warrenty on them.

Man you think that's bad luck, i was on my way to work not even 3 weeks after i got my 03 accord and some dick t-boned me. We were goin opposite ways and he didn't yeild at a green light when he was turing left, but hte bright side is that it was totalled and i might be able to get a V6 6 spd outa of it...If I'm lucky. But i was still REALLY REALLY pissed.

I feel you
Hey man...
you should go read my post from a while ago...It's a little bit below yours and it is called "help with my 2003 accord"
Anyway...I bought my 03 EX V6 in november...The problems I have are not severe but they shouldn't be happening to a new car..
My lumbar support broke.
My window made a ****ed up sound when i rolled it down
My gas pedal clicked sometimes
my cd player skipped.
my window sill bubbled up
And....
The main thing was that sometimes the car wouldn't turn on the first time so I had to do it again.
I don't know why so many people are having problems with the new accord. They have always been trustworthy cars. Anyway, now I have a better excuse to trade it in and get a six speed. Let me know what you find out.
Good Luck
