I purchased a 2017 Honda Civic LX from a local Honda. 10 minutes after leaving the dealership, the TPMS lights came on. Please note it was cold outside. Took the car to Autozone to have codes read. Code c0077-78 was detected. Once I got home, I checked the tire air pressure and the tire air pressure was low. I added air to tire afterward. I reset the TPMS and the TPMS light went away. The next day, the light came on for a few seconds after I started the car, but the light disappeared again. I didn't check the air pressure. I took it to Autozone to see if any codes were detected, but no codes were detected and all systems were functional.

On two (2) separate occasions the engine wiring harness was damaged by rodents. The damaged wiring harness compromised the power steering system, braking system and stability control system. Failure of these critical systems put the safety and welfare of myself, my family and all drivers on the road in danger of serious injury and death. The damaged wiring harness is in my possession and available for inspection. The local Honda dealership and numerous other sources have stated the manufacturer is using a soy based plant material to produce the wire casing that attracts rodents to chew and permanently damage the food based wiring components. The local Honda dealership inspected and verified the cause and the effect of the damage. Steering, braking and stability control warning lights were indicated while driving the vehicle and prior to driving in subsequent trips
