 Description of the problemWhile driving to chicago (2 hours away) with my wife and 11 year old my maintenance minder light came on to tell me it was time to get an oil change. Since it was a sunday i couldn't take it in. I couldn't make an appointment until 7/16 to get in for an oil change. On 7/16 i sat in my car to go home, but my dash lights were all lit up. Brakes, electric steering, abs, check engine, my speedometer wasn't working and many more lights remained on. I called the dealer and they told me it was safe to drive it over to them although i heard a grinding sound, my brakes were soft and my steering wheel was very stiff. I went very slow since my speedometer or mileage wasn't working at all. The next morning my dealer called and claimed that a rodent was the culprit who chewed on some main wiring harness of the entire car. I find this hard to believe because why didn't it happen after the oil light came 2 days before? Why didn't my wife's suv get affected by this? This is a huge quality control issue that honda needs to fix. What would have happened if all of these lights came on while i was driving my family on the highway?
