Design or installation of wiring harness may have caused the air conditioner wire to the pressure sensor to break. I do not know if this represents a safety issue, however, there have been reports of fire occurring in other crv vehicles having a faulty wire harness. Replacing the harness is almost entirely labor at a cost of almost $600. 00.
I understand that Honda manufactured all its cars with soy based insulation on wiring which can attract rats to chew. Obviously, this is a problem. When I called my dealership they wanted about $500 to fix it. I shouldn't have to pay for this problem.
Engine light came on and message said emissions system problem and the headlights got high and then low and then high and then low. I brought the car to a Honda dealership said that rodents chewed the engine main wiring harness and would cost $1,000 to replace. If the wiring harness in the engine is not protected that could easily start a fire after it has been chewed by rodents. I do not understand why this harness is not protected against rodents. I live in a condo with a private parking spot. I have been here 17 years and never had this problem. I bought the car a month ago. It is possible it could have happened at the Honda dealership but no way of knowing. The bottom line is the car should be recalled and the wiring harness covered with a protection of some sort. I am retired so I hardly use the car. It is parked most of the time in my parking spot.
