    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.

    This was our first experience driving our new 2015 honda odyssey after dark. It was frightening when we found ourselves on a familiar country road and unable to see the usual landmarks which tell us where we are. The problem is with the low beam headlights. Illuminated vision is very bright on the road close to the vehicle but there is a line midway up the windshield above which it is totally black. This line bobs…
