Rodents Chewing Up Soy-Based Wiring in Cars

Car owners are complaining to the federal government about car manufacturers using a soy-based coating on engine wires that is being chewed up by rodents, KIRO7 reports.

 

KIRO 7 related the story of chiropractor Paul Mack, who was on his way to his Shoreline office when the "check engine" light came on. It turned out that rodents chewed through both wiring harnesses, belts and hoses. The repairs cost $8,300. His insurance company covered most of it.

 

A class-action lawsuit by Honda owners might get them to do that. It's asking that manufacturer to pay for the repairs. The suit covers 2012-2015 Hondas damaged while still under warranty.
