Description of the problem	Since i purchased the car in 2011 i have had issues with mice getting into the cabin of the vehicle in spite of always closing all windows and doors. I have also heard of a coworker's family member who had the same car and the same problem. Additionally there was a similar complaint filed recently with nhtsa (odi id number : 10477843). At every service stop, i would ask if there was any technical service bulletins sent by hyundai for the issue. On wed, 10/17 when i got into my car to go to work, there was a mouse on the dashboard inches away from me. I told the dealership this was unacceptable and that i wanted an appointment to have them locate the place where the mice are getting in. I was amazed when they showed me a large opening in the metal firewall for the cabin air filter right next to a large gap in the cowl meant to cover it. That design allows a rodent, like a mouse, uninhibited access to the vehicle cabin without any need to damage or chew the cowl to get in. I supplied foil tape and aluminum screening to correct the flaw, but i had to pay a significant amount for the labor to do so. I filed a dispute with hyundai usa and it was declined, meaning they thought it was my responsibility to correct their design oversight. If i did not see the mouse until after i was on the road, the consequences could have been much worse.
