Foot brake becomes frozen solid at start up. Unable to start car. I was told to press very hard and should be able to start car. Have not always been able too. This has happened about 9 times over the course of 2 years. (new issue) 2 days ago I had issues trying to start the car up(thought it might be battery related) all these warning lights came on (brake, tire pressure, engine light (total of 6 lights) I was able to drive so I went directly to dealer. I was told I had rodent damage and the cost was $424. I still have not picked the car up as insurance needs to see repairs. I learned that Honda is now involved w a lawsuit due to the change from plastic wire coating to soy based product which is drawing rodents to feast on wiring. I contacted corporate and was told they would not pay for this under warranty. I. M still paying off a hefty loan (2 years left) and I have no guarantee this will not happen again. What a nightmare. Seems to me if company created this issue they need to come up with solution to assist customers because this is a financial nightmare as well as a safety nightmare. How do you know your wires are partially eaten or in the process of being eaten while you are driving. You dont!.
My air bag light is on. Honda told me the wiring to my air bag sensor is not working. Problem was discovered after I brought in my car for an oil change.
