Rodents chew through my honda odyssey 2011 electrical wiring. Looks like wire coating is soy based (based on what i am reading on forums) which attracts rodents. So rodents chewed electrical wiring which caused issues with signals going to transmission and we faced issues with driving car. Car started jumping while putting in reverse and forward gears and we immediately had to take it to dealership. This was safety…

I took van several times to dealer but they say: the van runs as designed, but, how ironic, it could not pass the nys inspection.they told me to drive it for 60 miles at high speed and hopefully it would then pass inspection. It did. There is a…

Location, staten island, ny. Date, 10/29/2017. Time, about 9:45pm. Drove over a few puddles in pouring rain and a hilly road. Suddenly, the check charge system light came on and complete loss of power steering. A minute later, it was restored. It happened again about a minute later. Then it was back to normal. Was able to drive safely home. Extremely hazardous if the loss of alternator power can immediately cause…

While driving the vehicle the check battery light comes on. It's not a battery issue. I have installed a brand new battery. Once the voltage drops the vehicle become sluggish and will not accelerate. This could be very dangerous in a high-speed situation such as on a busy freeway. In doing research i have found this appears to be a fairly widespread issue. But i do not know if there have been any deaths as a result…

Battery warning came on so replaced battery. Light came on again a few weeks later so had battery tested as well as anything that would drain battery life. Everything was good. But now every time i open the door or turn off the car the car loudly beeps a low battery warning. Fed up with it. If car was not paid off i would trade it in but would think twice bout getting another honda since they won't fix the problem.

Have a recurring issue with tpms light on my honda mini-van. Have been to the dealer several times to have it looked at, the code coming back is "radio frequency third wheel", and this light on the dashboard will not shut off. The dealer told me this is something they cannot fix. Honda corp needs to acknowledge the problem and inform dealers how to fix the tpms indicator light. I have read that smart phones,…

My ignition key is falling apart. The ignition key contains the security chip to allow the car to start/run and it also contains the transmitter to lock and unlock the car. The housing of the key is coming apart. I am concerned that my car may stop running if the security chip falls out of the housing, as i am driving. This would cause the engine to stop running and the lost of power for the brakes and steering. I…

They state it's not a problem and i need to drive the car more. It is concerning that the car shuts the dome lights off, even the dash lights off automatically. This is a supposed safety item of the car that i am to ignore? I am deeply…

The battery and electrical system frequently goes dead, leaving my family stranded and feeling insecure about the safety of this vehicle. For example, if i sit in the car, turned off, with the key in the ignition (no lights on, no radio, etc.) the battery will die. I have to have it jumped, or wait hours (without the key in the ignition) for the battery to recharge. I don't feel safe being stranded someplace for…
