NHTSA complaint #10886068, filed 2016-07, 1,221 miles

“Wiring harness of two year old Land Rover LR4 likely constructed of soy wires. Rodents are attracted to the wires and eat them regularly. This causes reduced safety through a compromised electrical system. Manufacturer and dealer refuses to recall vehicles and re-install with appropriate and safe wiring. Further, both manufacturer and dealer push cost of repair ($1200) to consumer and will not honor warranty. Constructing a wiring harness out of materials attractive to rodents appears to this engineer to be a clear design defect that puts drivers, passengers and the general public at risk. …”
