This was the FIRST of FIVE times this happened:

Went to start my car for work after the Christmas holiday, it started fine, but every single light on the dash was illuminated, and every possible system failure was reported, and power steering was dead-stick.

Car had to be towed to the Honda dealership, where they informed me that rodents had chewed through my power steering sub-harness (53862-TBA-A01). The repair was $500, but "Rodent proof" tape was placed on the harness, to keep it from being chewed again (it did not work).

I have read many articles and forum posts about this issue, and it is EXTREMELY wide-spread, and Honda is very aware of the issue, but is not attempting to fix it, only to cover it up. Honda needs to be held accountable to sub-par craftsmanship.

This was the SECOND of FIVE times this happened:

Started my car three days after having a harness repaired at the dealership, and the warning light came on for"Adaptive Damper System" malfunction. Took the car back to the dealer, and was informed that the issue was unrelated to the 3-day old work, and I would be required to pay for a loaner car.

Dealer stated the issue was caused by rodent damage to a sub-harness (32208-TEA-R001). I requested pictures of the damage, but pictures we not available. $500 for repair, $400 for loaner. "Rodent Proof" tape was not used, because I "didn't ask for it".

This was the FIFTH of FIVE times this happened:

Went to start my car after the weekend, it started fine, but every single light on the dash was illuminated, and every possible system failure was reported, and power steering was dead-stick.

Having already paid thousands of dollars to have the problem fixed over and over, I opted to do it myself. I located the two suspected harnesses, and confirmed they were both chewed, ONCE AGAIN. The leveling sensor harness (32208-TEA-R001) was NOT Rodent taped, even though I was told it was. The Power steering harness (53862-TBA-A01) WAS taped in Rodent tape, and was STILL CHEWED THROUGH after only two days parked.

Correct parts have been ordered, and I will be wrapping them in gorilla tape, foil tape, and rodent tape if I can find some.

HONDA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, AND LIKELY AWARE THAT THE TAPE THEY ARE USING TO COVER IT UP IS INEFFECTIVE. LAWSUITS AND RECALLS ARE NEEDED NOW!

This was the THIRD of FIVE times this happened:

Went to start my car for work, every single light on the dash was illuminated, and every possible system failure message was reported, and power steering was non-responsive.

Car had to be towed to the Honda dealership, where they informed me that rodents had chewed through my power steering (53862-TBA-A01), and my leveling sensor (32208-TEA-R001) harnesses, AGAIN. The repair was $500, with $400 for courtesy car, again. They informed me "Rodent proof" tape would be placed placed on the harnesses, to keep it from being chewed again. I told them there already WAS Rodent Proof tape on the harnesses from the LAST time this happened. They did not have an explanation.
