JUST BOUGHT MY 2017 HR-V AND ALREADY HAD IT TOWED AFTER PARKING IT AT MY WORKS PARKING GARAGE FOR JUST 4 HRS. THE CHECK ENGINE, AND PARKING LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE STARTED MOVING RAPIDLY BACK AND FORTH UP AND DOWN AND JUST STOPPED RIGHT IN THE DRIVE WAY ALMOST ACROSS BLOCKING TRAFFIC. MY INS COMPANY..THANK GOD PAID OVER $800.00 THIS TIME BECAUSE I WAS TOLD SOME KIND OF ANIMAL..RODENT MAYBE CHEWED ON SOME OF MY WIRES. ON TOP OF IT, I SIGHTED UP FOR CAR RENTAL UNDER THE EXTENDED PRO TECH SERVICES, SO I REMOVED THE COVERAGE FROM MY INSURANCE. SO I ENDED UP SHARING MY DAUGHTER'S CAR FOR THREE DAYS. VERY INCONVENIENT. !!! VERY DISSATISFIED..AND DISAPPOINTED. PS. I ALSO ASKED, IF THERE IS SOMETHING THEY CAN PUT ON THERE TO AVOID THIS FROM HAPPENING. I WAS TOLD "NO". JUST READ.. THERE IS A TAPE MADE BY HONDA THAT THEY TO AVOID THAT. GUESS, BETTER FOR THEM... IF THE RODENTS KEEP THEIR BUSINESS COMING IN!!!! IF NEEDED MY INC COMPANY CAN PROVIDE ANY PICTURE. A INSPECTOR ASSESSED THE DAMAGES. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME.
