I went to go start my vehicle after leaving work at 4 am, 5/9/2019. upon trying to start my vehicle, the brake pedal was stiff. i could not start the vehicle. my car's lights started flashing, with a weird clicking noise being made. on the dashboard, the system started stating "electric parking brake problem". "manual brake problem", "stability problem", and a couple other errors. the vehicle was stationary, and upon doing research, this has been an issue with 2016-2018 honda civics. the emergency brake was not on, and i have never used that feature. at the time of this complaint, my vehicle is sitting in my work's full parking lot, and i am stranded.
My 2017 honda civic hatchback, with 13,015 miles on it, was in my carport and had only been sitting 2 days without being driven when i turned the car on and the car began throwing warnings of all electrical systems having problems. for example the tpms, electric parking break, brake system, electric power steering, hill start assist and more. and i had no power steering. i had my car towed to surprise honda (big mistake) and they saw that my harness (part number 53682-tsa-a01) was chewed by rodents which caused the problem. honda says and knows this wiring is made from soy based material which attracts rodents. honda even has a special spicy tape, which they charge for as well, that they can use to wrap the wiring to deter the rodents (which the service mgr said really doesn't work.) honda says it is not covered under their warranty. they replaced the wiring and it cost me 370.00 dollars. the part itself was only 20.00 dollars. it is 108 degrees outside the rodents are not going into my engine to keep warm!! the soy base wiring is attracting them to do the damage. honda and their dealership were of no help whatsoever except to make money off a poor choice in their soy base wiring.
Every now and then there will be brake proble while im driving car will stop in the for no reason.lastweek as i was reversing the car had an error stating electric parking brake problem and it wouldnt move. i shut the car off thwn turn it back on it went away as i was driving the error appears again while i was driving the car started to slow down so i pulled over in a parking lot and turn it off and waited
My honda civic 2017 car was in my driveway not moving when i turned the car on and all my warning lights came on and i had no power steering. i had my car towed to honda and they saw that my sub wiring harness was chewed which caused the problem. honda says this wiring is made from soy based material which attracts rodents. they replaced the wiring and it cost me 268.00 dollars. the part itself was only 28.00 dollars. this then happened to me again exactly 2 weeks later with the same problem. i had to have the car towed again. this time i found out there is a fix for this. a spicy tape that honda makes that can be wrapped around the wiring to resist rodents i don't know how effective this is.they said they don't have the tape.. i am currently waiting to see what they are going to do since they know about this problem and my car is in the shop again going on the 2nd day. ther is a class action suite that was filed for this very same reason. this dates all the way back to 2010 i was told.
