Consumer Description

MY 2014 RAV4 HAS A FUEL LINE LEAK. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CLAIMS IT IS DUE TO A MOUSE AND WILL NOT FIX IT UNDER WARRANTY. I THINK IT APPEARS THAT THE LINE HAS BEEN SCRAPED RATHER THAN CHEWED. BUT IF IT WAS DAMAGED BY A MOUSE THIS IS ALSO AN ISSUE. THE FUEL LINE SHOULD NOT BE EDIBLE BY RODENTS. WAY TOO MANY AUTOMOBILE PARTS ARE BEING MADE FROM "EDIBLE" COMPONENTS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE BEEN WARNED I SHOULD NOT DRIVE MY CAR - THAT IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE. FROM INFORMATION AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET AND FROM A LOCAL REPAIR PLACE I HAVE FOUND THAT A LOT OF WIRING AND OTHER PARTS ARE RODENT EDIBLE AND CAUSING A LOT OF DEFECTS.
