| Description of the problem | 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! |
