Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The problem I have is not manufacturer per se. A rat or other rodent type animal entered the engine compartment and ate and/or chewed through hoses, harnesses, and plastic component covers causing fluids to leak out and the engine to overheat. My concern is that there may be many similar incidents due to something that is in the components. My bmw was parked in the same place for 2 years and did not have any troubles. I would appreciate any information you can share on this issue. Thanks, jim bouziane.”
