Description of the problem | In recent, companies have changed how they make the insulation for cables attached to a car's engine. The soy products now used to create the wire insulation concerns me a great deal. This weekend my wife was driving our car, a 2010 honda accord, and while on the road the car started to shake and stutter violently, and would not accelerate. This could have ultimately caused an accident and harmed her and other people. After having our car towed to the dealership, there was evidence that a rodent of some type had chewed on the cables. Not only did this make the car unstable to drive on the road, but there was a threat of electrical fire because the wire's insulation was chewed away by a small animal that was attracted to the soy-based food source in the wires. Adding the soy to the wires can cause problems including unreliability, fires, and possibly even death. I don |
