“Check engine light went on in our son's 2018 Volvo XC90 on october 14, 2020. We selected the Volvo brand since it is synonymous with safety . I brought the vehicle into Volvo service on october 15, 2020 and learned that the right rear wheel well leak detection pump was damaged due to rodents chewing through the wiring. Safety issue #1: the vehicle would not pass inspection unless the damage was fixed. Learned that the wiring is made of a soy based material. …”
