NHTSA Complaint #11096586 — 2017 CHEVROLET TRAX

THEY DESIGNED A PRESSURE VALVE UNDERNEATH THE REAR BUMPER FASCIA WITH A HOLE LARGE ENOUGH FOR RODENTS AND SMALL ANIMALS TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE CABIN OF THE CAR WITHOUT DESTROYING ANY PART OF THE CAR TO GAIN ACCESS. IT IS ESSENTIALLY AN OPEN DOOR FOR SQUIRRELS, MICE, RATS TO USE THEN NEST IN THE CAR UNBEKNOWNST TO THE OWNER. IT COMES WITH THE DANGER OF A RODENT POPPING OUT WHILE DRIVING OR SPREADING DIEASE THROUGHOUT THE CABIN OF THE CAR VIA THE AIR DUCTS. I FEEL THE CABIN OF THE CAR SHOULD BE A SEALED UNIT. THE ONLY WAY I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE DEEMED AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE IS IN THE CASE OF AN ANIMAL DESTROYING A PART IN ORDER TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE CABIN OF THE CAR. IN THIS INSTANCE THERE IS NO DAMAGE IN ORDER TO GAIN ACCESS THE CABIN AND IT IS THE SAME AS LEAVING A CAR DOOR OPEN 24/7 HOPING NOTHING BAD HAPPENS. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO GENERAL MOTORS AND NO ONE SEEMS TO UNDERSTAND THE FRUSTRATION I AM HAVING.
