I have had to take my car in for two repairs related to rodents chewing through electrical wiring. One was for chewing through fuel harness and fuel pump wires resulting in repairs that cost $915 and occurred on 9/5/2018. I was driving on a major road when multiple warning lights illuminated. I made it home then took it to the dealership. The second incident was from chewing through gas line and ima inverter that cost $1701 and occurred on 3/15/19. I was driving on a city street when multiple warning lights illuminated (check engine, brake malfunction, ima battery, charging malfunction). I drove home and decided to take it to the honda dealership. When I went to take it to honda, the lights were no longer illuminated. I drove about 2 miles and got onto a major highway when I started to smell a strong odor and the lights illuminated again. I got off on the next exit when I lost power steering and the car would not accelerate. I began to pull over but then regained the ability to accelerate and luckily made it home. Fuel was pouring from under the car so I had it towed to the dealership. They determined I needed a new fuel line, new ima system as well as junction box. My car was in the shop for almost two months, during which I had to pay for a rental car. The honda dealership told me it is common for chewing through wiring of this specific year and model honda because the material wrapping around the wires was made from a soybean product, which rodents are attracted to.

On 3/15/2019 I was driving on a city street when multiple warning lights illuminated (check engine, brake malfunction, ima battery, charging malfunction). The car was towed to the dealership. Once there, they determine that the problem was related to rodents chewing from wires which damaged the fuel line and ima system. After this was repaired, the car still had failure codes due to mechanical issues with the car's system. Troubleshooting LED the technician to determine that the motor power inverter needed to be replaced. This required them to also have to replace the junction board. After they were installed, the ima light stayed on, the battery would not charge, and the car continued to recode. They had to put in a test mcm and a second mpi (since the first one malfunctioned as well). This occurred over the course of almost two months. They could not determine a specific cause that LED to the system malfunction, so it appeared to be a manufacturing issue. I was charged for the repairs as well as almost two months of rental car fees.

While driving, car randomly displays check emission and check transmission system error. When I restart the car, the check engine light comes when I put it in d position. I took the car for repair and they say everything is normal and they didn't find any issues. I'm really worried about the safety in mid-way and also the engine or transmission might get effected.

The car randomly displays a check emissions system and check transmission systems error on the dashboard while driving. The check engine light comes on and the "d" indicator on the display flashes. When the check transmission systems error displays the car does not shift as it should. I took it to my mechanic and he couldn't find anything wrong with the engine or transmission, and no error codes came up on his computer. I called the dealership and they said a software update is needed. I am concerned about wear and tear on the engine and/or transmission due to these issues.

Sudden acceleration: I have been observing that the vehicle suddenly accelerates while driving downhill or merging on the highway. I have also noticed that it will accelerate when you turn off the cruise control. The speed is uncontrollable for few seconds before the engine starts the deceleration. I have taken a vehicle to the dealer twice and they have assured that this is normal function since check engine light is not on. The vehicle is 1.5 years old and has @15k miles on it.
