Description of the problem | Wiring in newer vehicles being coated in soy. I have since jan. 2019 had my vehicle in for repair due to a rodent of some type/ (squirrel) or something else. I have read online that there have been many people who are dealing with the same problem. Is there anyway that the manufacturer of my vehicle and others be made to fix this problem. Its costing the insurance companies and consumers a ton of money. This happens when my vehicle sits in my yard daily since i drive a work van. I have 3 vehicles in my yard/ chev. Ford and my nissan. Only my nissan is being attacked. My ford isn't being moved hardly ever. Like the body shop stated they would not drive it after the wires are chewed because something could stop working while i could be driving it. Twice erie insurance has paid for this we recently changed to geico in feb and about 13 days later the squirrel chewed on the wires again. I have talked to car dealers and auto insurance and they stated they are getting a lot of claims on this problems seems that since the car companies created this problem buy putting something in our vehicle that the rodents love. Please help. I seen where a group of people had a class action suite but it was thrown out of court by some judge. |
