Yes he said it was covered but he also said he didnt think it was a rodent issue...
OMG!!!! Im in shocked looking at your pics.I spoke with my dealer today and I have an update on my 2016 civic sedan. Apparantly there is rodent nest right next to my engine. The rodent chewed on a wiring harmess and completely distroyed a bunch of wires that go from powertrain control module to cooling pack of cylinder no. 4. Hence cylinder 4 started misfiring. Hence the engine started vibrating and ultimately the car. The multiple warning lights phenomena was not explained by my dealer.
Since it's a rodent issue the dealer said it won't be covered under warranty. I will have to decide if I should replace the entire harness which could cost around $2000 or repair it which will cost $260. I'm going ahead with the repair option.
If anyone could answer a few questions I would really appreciate it. Any other thought on this and on the pictures i have attached are welcome.
1. I still fail to understand how within 3 hours my car went from running perfectly fine to a bunch of wires chewed up?
2. Since it's a brand new car with bumper to bumper warranty can I somehow get it fixed under warranty?
My only thought is that the plastic protective plate under the car doesnt limit at all the accessibility to the engine for rodents, contrary to what my dealer told me today.I spoke with my dealer today and I have an update on my 2016 civic sedan.

Where on car is this pic. Is it accessed underneath? I am trying to figure it out. Do I remove the steel plate?(one to access oil filter)?

From this pic it looks like its on top of the engine
I think it's underneath the engine cover.
There's nothing sadder than seeing your ride on the back of a flatbed! I hope it all works out for you.Happened to me today. Everything fine on the drive to the grocery store. When I got in the car after, everything went haywire. Had this issue on my 6th gen before, the wire harness was rubbing on the metal bracket on the intake manifold and shorted out the electrical. You’d think they would have fixed it by 20 years later... we’ll see what they say. Car has 90k miles on it now , 2016 ex-t. It’s had all the service bulletins done.
Yes so sad and thank you. The service manager at the dealership said that it could be rodents gnawing the wires. The truck driver said he saw 4 cars same thing. Sucks it’s raining out or I’d do it myself, now I’m gonna owe hundreds!!!
What the flying f**** made that???? Some sorta racoon??I spoke with my dealer today and I have an update on my 2016 civic sedan. Apparantly there is rodent nest right next to my engine.

So I did some research last night, looks like a dead battery will cause all those symptoms. I went in and changed it out , cost $99 and $20 core. Works great now, saved hundreds!!!
