NHTSA Complaint #11083321 — 2016 SUBARU LEGACY

WIRES AND OTHER COMPONENTS ARE MADE OF SOY BASED MATERIALS THAT ATTRACT RODENTS SQUIRRELS CHIPMUNKS AND CATS APPARENTLY AND HAVE BEEN CHEWED; THE HARNESS WAS DESTROYED AND POTENTIAL DAMAGE TO THIS AND TO POWER STEERING LINE, EXHAUST HOSES AND OTHER WIRING AND PARTS WITH SOY EXIST. THE MANUFACTURER STATES THERE IS NO REMEDY OTHER THAN TO REPLACE WITH THE SAME MATERIALS. WE ARE CONCERNED NOT ONLY FOR FINANCIAL REASONS BUT PARTICULARLY SAFETY ISSUES. WHEN I TURNED ON THE ENGINE IN THE MORNING EVERY WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH WAS FLASHING INCLUDING BRAKE, TRANSMISSION, OIL, AIR, ETC AND I COULD NOT DRIVE AT ALL. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD ACCIDENTS OR CAR FIRES RELATED TO THIS SITUATION.
