Hello r/Honda, I wanted to send this question out there in hopes that someone here has been dealing with a similar problem (wish we didn’t have to deal with this) and potentially has some advice.

Two times in 11 months, wires in my car have been, according to Honda, eaten by rodents. The first time this happened; all lights in and on my car wouldn’t work - ended up costing $700 to fix. Second time it happened this week; engine light came on and the car went into a ‘limp mode’ - cost $1100 to fix this time, but during the fix I was informed it looks like the broken wires caused a short in the computer and was told the computer would most-likely need to be fixed as well at a cost well above $2000.

Close to $4000 in repairs on a car that is still under warranty and only has 65,000km on it. Now if the computer does fail, should I get it fixed at Honda? The car is a least with about 16 months left on it.

How do you keep rats away? Should I be claiming these repairs under insurance?

Any and all advice is appreciated.
