Turned on the car to see "d" blinking and service light appear. Attempted to drive the vehicle down my driveway and around neighborhood; there was significant shuttering when in motion (switching dears, reversing, and in drive). Had the vehicle towed to Honda dealership since it felt unsafe to drive. Damage (gnawed engine harness on 2 connectors) occurred seemingly overnight. According to dealership rodents chewing through soy-based wiring was the cause. Without the repair I felt that the car was unsafe to drive and a hazard.
My Honda was in a 2010 recall for door panel wiring failure. A heat shield was installed. This year the door panel melted a little over a months time. Honda had me bring in my car,said they would take pictures and consult with Honda engineers. Their conclusion: must have been vandalism by cigarette lighter or something strange as the heat shield was fine and there is no wiring in the door that operates windows, locks or speakers (where the melts are). If I purchase a new door panel for $250. 00 they will do the labor for free. They say there are no other complaints, ever. Not one person who has seen the panel believes it.
