Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	To cancel a tire inflation warning at approx. 17,000 miles,i popped the hood of the vehicle to access the negative battery cable with the intention of disconnecting +reconnecting to clear warning. Instead i found both neg.+pos. Cables unsecured to both battery posts. I contacted american honda to report this defect,request a battery replacement,electrical system test+error code retrieval. This extremely dangerous situation may have permanently damaged the vehicle+despite my numerous calls to honda,i've yet to receive a response. This is a build, sales+service problem that should not exist on any new vehicle sold. Symptoms prior to discovery=dimming headlamps@idle,poor transmission+engine response,reduced mileage+intermittent burning smell. I was fortunate my vehicle never died in traffic or caught fire. My case number with honda=05755540. Again, my concern is that the factory in mexico,the selling dealer in temecula and the first servicing deaer in anaheim(@10,000 service)never verified that the battery cables were properly secured for safe operation. My mechanical service experience+dumb luck should not be a substitute for honda's failure on multiple levels. Short of "i'm very sorry" from the person taking my initial complaint,honda has done nothing to correct the described problem.
