Rodents ate through wiring effecting emission cable (located at rear of vehicle--just below gas tank)--this had to be replaced costing approx $500. --parts totaled only $15. Labor costs totally ridiculous--.

4 Wiring problem

Failure Date: 02/06/2017

Rodents chewed through wiring because the wire is made from soybeans. Potential fire hazard. Makes car inoperable. This is a known problem for several years prior to 2016. Manufacturer should have fixed this problem by substituting wiring that does not attract rodents. Manufacturer (Ford) should make this right. The cost of repairs should not be borne by customers.
