Engine wiring was chewed and heavily damaged by rodents. I am concerned because engine bay is easily accesable from the bottom of the car, there is no sheilding. I also read that on this paticular model the wiring insulation is soy based, possibly attracting rodents to said eat wiring.
2010 Honda Fit. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle underbody exposed wires damaged by rodents that caused transmission malfunction. The consumer stated the underbody had exposed wires that were open to the ground. Rodents had eaten into the wires in the past two months, the first incident caused a transmission malfunction; the vehicle slammed into gear upon starting and then again at 25 mph. The second time, the engine coolant temperature sensor wire was gnawed and not functioning. After doing some research, the consumer discovered Honda was apparently using biodegradable, soy-based wiring that attracted rodents.
