This car is practically brand new. The rats are apparently attracted to the warmth of the engine where they then feast on the soy-based wiring inside the engine. This was a $2700 repair to replace the wires and the harness. Apparently, Honda got the judge to toss the civil case against them for this problem, though they knowingly sold cars without altering the wiring, despite numerous incidents.
They even sell tape that is rodent-resistant, a clear acknowledgement that they knew of this problem, yet they refuse to acknowledge responsibility or liability. This is a problem that should lead to a recall, with new wires. I know of at least two other people who have had the same thing happen to them. In all cases, Honda denied their responsibility.
