general problems of the 2015 Honda Odyssey

Honda is using soy product on wiring and it attracts squireels to eat my wires. The rodents ate the wires three times so far. While driving with children in car, my breaks did not work properly. I also had no windshield wipers or lights. It was raining. It was so scary. I have video of the squirrels underneath the hood.

The odometer dial is very difficult to see in bright conditions. This year they went to white letters on gray background. At 70 miles an hour, staring at the odometer to check one's speed is similar to reading text on a phone. I had contacted Honda a number of times to ask why we cannot adjust the lighting so the numbers when lit can be viewed more easily. There is a light detector built in that does not allow the dash lights to function during daylight. I have had several dangerous events occur due to drifting of the vehicle while taking my eyes off the road to try and read the dial. Why can't they fix it to allow use of dash lighting during daylight? it could be as simple as allowing the disabling of the day/night detector.

During rain at night, very little of the low beams reach the road way. The pattern of light from the projector type low beam is such that there is a bright line about 2 - 3 feet above the ground at 25 feet. Above that it sharply fades to almost nothing. Below that line, it gradually fades to darkness at ground level. At the factory setting, there could be more light higher up. The real issue is that very little light gets to the road. During rain, roadway center and side lines are not visible, however, reflective material about 1 foot off the ground is incredibly bright. Oi have taken the van to the dealer and they told me there is no solution. It is incredibly dangerous as there is insufficient light to illuminate roadway lane lines.
