Wiring problems of the 2019 Honda CR-V

When I got in my car at walmart and started the engine all the sudden the brake system warnings come on the dash and also I could night shift the gears. I was not able to move the car at all and had to call a wrecker to come tow the car to the dealer. The dealer told me they had no idea what was wrong for most of the day. They then called me and asked me did I normally hang my handicap placard on the rearview mirror. I said yes that's where we normally hang out and remove it before we drive it every time. They told me that the handicap placard had damaged the cable on the back of the mirror and had caused the brake system to completely fail and that it was not a warranty problem. I had to pay $922 to get the car fixed. The wiring harness in the roof of the car had to be replaced. We were not even aware that cable was behind the mirror. The problem could've happened at any point while I was driving the car and I would have lost all the braking system for the car if it had happened while driving. I believe this is an issue that needs to be taken up with Honda and other car makers and have a recall to fix the problem so the handicap placard will not destroy the cable.

My vehicle was rendered unsafe after rats ate through a wiring harness that disabled safety and emissions equipment on my vehicle. The wiring in the Honda is allegedly coated with a soy based material that attracts rodents. Honda is aware of rodents eating through its cars wiring and offers part number 4019-2317 rodent tape to address this defect after damage has occurred.

This happened in my driveway, where we have lived for over 25 years. The wiring used for the main harness is made with a soy base product. Not only mice or rats, squirrels and other animals can smell this out and destroy the wiring. I was told that one man has had his main harness replaced 3 times. If a soy based product is being used, then the repairs that will be needed over and over from rodents should be covered under a warranty for wiring for the entire life of the car!! this harness goes to control all of the information that is in the cars computer system. I am an elderly disabled senior on a fixed income. I can not afford to buy this car and then turn around before it is even a year old to have to fork out $1400. 00 for a new wiring harness, you knew this would happen, but did not care!!! therefore your product is highly defective!!! I will never buy another Honda car and I will definitely promote the problem of the wiring info to inform others not to purchase these vehicles!!! the poor service that you have given customers concerning this is totally wrong!!!!! by doing this they are creating a completely different problem. Mice, rats and rodents carry all kinds of diseases and by enticing them with soy based wiring, you are causing another problem that could be much worse for your customers, if they were to be bitten by these rodents!!!! why don't you people think about what would be worse, the environment or dead customers and the lawsuits from that!!!!.
