WHILE DRIVING OR IDLING, MY CAR RADIO WILL TURN OFF AND MY POWER STEERING WILL STOP WORKING. IT ALMOST IMMEDIATELY STARTS WORKING AGAIN (BOTH RADIO AND POWER STEERING), SO I CANNOT IDENTIFY IF ANY OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ARE AFFECTED. IT APPEARS THAT THE LIGHTS AND BLINKERS ARE WORKING AND I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF, BUT I CAN NOT SAY THAT FOR SURE. STOPPING THE CAR AND WAITING SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING SEEMS TO FIX THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY, BUT IT CAN REOCCUR AT ANY TIME. I HAVE COUNTED IT OCCURRING 12 TIMES DRIVING 3/4 MILE AT SPEEDS OF 25 MILES PER HOUR. I TYPICALLY EXPERIENCE IT WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT. THE CAR HAS 57,000 MILES AND GOES TO THE DEALERSHIP REGULARLY FOR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE.

BECAUSE HONDA CHOSE TO USE SOY-BASED WIRES FOR THE WIRES LEADING TO THE TRANSMISSION, THEY ARE VERY, VERY TEMPTING TO RODENTS. IN FACT, IN 2015, A RODENT OF SOME SORT CRAWLED INTO MY ENGINE AND CHEWED THROUGH THE WIRING THAT CONTROLS MY TRANSMISSION. PART OF THE REPAIR WAS THAT THEY WRAPPED THE REPLACEMENT WIRES IN "SPECIAL TAPE" HONDA MAKES TO DETER RODENTS (IT'S SPICY). (IN OTHER WORDS, THEY KNOW THIS IS AN ISSUE AND REFUSE TO FIX IT.) DESPITE A) PARKING IN A GARAGE B) HAVING THE REPELLENT TAPE ON THERE C) HAVING PEST CONTROL AND NO RODENT ISSUE WHERE I PARK, I STARTED MY CAR YESTERDAY TO FIND THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS 2015. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR, THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT LIT UP AND THE D (DRIVE ICON) WAS FLASHING. WHEN I SHIFTED FROM PARK TO REVERSE, THE CAR SHOOK REALLY HARD. EVERY TIME THE TRANSMISSION TRIED TO AUTOMATICALLY SHIFT WHILE DRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP DOWN THE STREET, THE CAR WOULD CLUNK AND SHAKE. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT A RODENT HAD CHEWED THROUGH THE WIRES THAT HELP CONTROL THE TRANSMISSION AGAIN AND THAT IT WAS A "COMMON PROBLEM." COMMON ENOUGH IN FACT THAT THE DEALER TOLD ME ABOUT A GUY WHO HAD IT FIXED, THEN A WEEK LATER, HAD TO HAVE IT FIXED AGAIN DUE TO MORE RODENTS. THEY SAID IT WAS JUST A FACT OF OWNING A VEHICLE. THEY SUGGESTED I "OPT FOR THE SPICY TAPE," WHICH THEY CHARGE MORE FOR. I EXPLAINED THAT IF THEY'D LOOKED AT MY ENGINE, THEY'D KNOW I ALREADY HAD THAT TAPE ON THERE! THE SERVICEMAN THEN SHRUGGED AND SAID HE COULDN'T HELP ME. THAT IT COULD HAPPEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND THERE WAS "NOTHING" I COULD DO. THAT SOUNDS LIKE A RECALL ISSUE TO ME AND A MANUFACTURER REFUSING TO COVER THIS UNDER WARRANTY.

HTTP://FORUMS.EDMUNDS.COM/DISCUSSION/COMMENT/3559372 MY CAR WOULD NOT START TODAY AND EPS LIGHT DISPLAYS. UPON RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT 2007-2010 MODELS HAVE NO RECALL BUT LINK ABOVE DEALS WITH SOMEONE WITH A BRAND NEW 2012 FIT THAT HAD A SERIOUS ISSUE WHEN THEIR CAR WAS 2 MONTHS OLD. MINE IS OBVIOUSLY OLDER NOW, BUT NOTE THAT IT HAS LESS THAN 24K MILES ON THE ODOMETER. PLEASE INVESTIGATE IF THERE ARE MORE SUCH ISSUES OUT THERE THAT I DO NOT KNOW OF, SINCE LOSS OF POWER STEERING CAN BE A BIG PROBLEM. APPARENTLY, THE OLDER MODELS WERE NOT RECALLED, BUT HONDA SUPPOSEDLY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THAT PART UP TO 150K MILES. NO SUCH ACCOMMODATION HAS BEEN MADE FOR MY 2012, BUT I FIND IT QUESTIONABLE THAT THE POWER STEERING IS AN ISSUE FOR ME AT UNDER 24K MILES AS IT HAS BEEN FOR THE OTHER PERSON. I WILL HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE SHOP TOMORROW.

Remedy: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the drive shafts, replacing either the left or right drive shaft, if necessary, free of charge. Owners were notified of the safety risk with an interim letter mailed February 2, 2021. A second letter will be sent once the remedy is available.
