Rodents ate through the electronic power steering wires. My son was driving the vehicle when power steering loss occurred. He could have been in an accident and or killed. American Honda won't do anything about this and someone needs to address this safety issue. The vehicle was in motion when loss of power steering!!

The engine wiring harness cover composition is attractive to rodents. Squirrels chewed into the harness leading to loss of acceleration. The entire harness needs replacing due to the soy based wire coating. The failure was first noticed while at speed (approximately 35 mph in city traffic. Subsequent attempts at starting the vehicle resulted in rough idle and dangerous hesitation when merging. Local dealer advises this is a common issue affecting the uk assembled Civic hatch back. Estimate for replacement is $900 as this is not covered by Honda.

(4 complaints, all possibly electrical) 1) key not detected in veh error, while driving vehicle, I have the key not connected to anything and no longer in a pouch, my car beeps and says "key not detected in the vehicle) this has happened while driving on the street and freeway. It is a random occurrence but happens on a daily basis. 2) bluetooth is not clear on the person speaking to me's side. Other person states as well as Honda tech line states it is unclear, muffled, and loud interference with my voice happens while using blutooth. 3) car play: Due to bluetooth issue I started only taking calls while using car play. Once I started using I started having the issue of it stating randomly after being successfully connected"car play not supported" while in the middle of a call it will disconnect and I will have to pull over to attempt to reconnect. Right after car play will connect again and work until it randomly disconnects again saying car play not supported. Note: With car play and bluetooth issue I have taken car into dlr multiple times starting with the day after the veh was purchased in 1/29/2018 no resolution so far to date. Dlr has replaced microphone, and still no resolution as of yet 4) driver window makes weird sound like it is coming off the track, took into dlr and they replaced the motor for the window, the window still has issue. ** I have more photos of records from taking veh into dlrship.
