NHTSA Complaint #10903531 — 2015 HONDA CR-V

THIS CAR HAS BEEN AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE. I LITERALLY CANNOT KEEP IT RUNNING. HONDA NOW USES SOY BASED WIRING WHICH ATTRACTS RODENTS. I HAVE SEVERAL OTHER CARS IN THE DRIVEWAY PLUS FARM EQUIPMENT. MOWERS, LAWN MOWERS ETC. THE RODENTS TARGET SPECIFICALLY THE HONDA. HAD TO HAVE THE POWER STEERING SUB HARNESS REPLACED TWICE LAST FALL AND WINDSHIELD WASHER TANK, AT 3020 MILES, 4434 MILES, 5045 MILES. FIRST TWO REPAIRS WERE SUB HARNESS. IT NOW IS IN THE SHOP AGAIN FOR LOSS OF POWER STEERING DUE TO RODENT DAMAGE AT 16660 MILES, LOSS OF POWER STEERING SUB HARNESS. I HAD A HONDA CR-V 04 BEFORE THIS ONE AND IT DID NOT GET RODENT DAMAGE. THIS IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO HONDA'S SOY BASED WIRING ..... THEY WILL NOT HONOR ANY CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AT ALL CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR ALL BUT LAUGHED IN MY FACE. THE DEALER NOW DOING THE REPAIRS HAS BEEN VERY RESPECTFUL ALTHOUGH HONDA WILL TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ALSO AS SAFETY ISSUE...... THREE TIMES NOW MY POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT. LUCKILY I WAS STILL IN MY YARD AND WAS ABLE TO PARK THE CAR SAFELY AND HAVE IT TOWED. I HAVE NOT TRIED TO DRIVE IT ONCE THE STEERING GOES OUT... VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE VEHICLE AND I WOULD THINK VERY DANGEROUS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.... CAR WAS IN REVERSE AND MOTION WHEN POWER STEERING LOSS OCCURRED.....
