I have lost power steering twice within an 11 day period due to rodent damage on the wiring (harness) of my vehicle. 1st time was on 10/10/2017 as I was backing down my driveway that requires a couple of sharp turns. Almost hit a wall. I missed 2 appts. And Honda charged me $320 for the repair. 2nd time I had just started the engine and the same lsak warning lights came on and again no power steering. Honda didn't charge me for this repair. I have read and been told by Honda folks that this is due to the recent use of soy in the wiring covers. Honda will not cover it under warranty or extended warranty and yet they sell a part no. Honda 4019-2317 rodent tape. I live in a rural area and this is my 4th Honda and never had this problem before. I have the repair documents but don't know how to copy and send to you.
Rodents chewed thru the wiring harness and the plastic housing, which caused lights and signals to lose functionality. Discovered it while driving when turn signal clicking started going very fast, and I thought the bulb was bad.
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. . . . .
