Description of the problem	Soy based wiring placed in vehicle by acura manufacture causes an attraction to rodents, squirrels, mice to eat the wires. The rodents are attracted to the taste of the material. Since january of this year 2020 i have sustained damage three times to my 2015 acura tlx which cost thousands of dollars to repair. This soy based material is being placed in the newer models to save on cost for the manufacturer, but leave costumers, like myself, at a deficit of money and time for repairs. It is also unsafe, because one never knows when the car will stop running or if it will even start. I have been effected by this in january of 2020, march 2020 and again in may 2020. I also own a 2015 honda accord and my husband a 2009 toyota that are parked in the same area and no such damage has occurred to these older model cars. The corporate office is aware of the soy based material, but refuses to take responsibility. If this soy based material was not put in the cars to begin with then rodents would not be attracted. My older cars stand as a testament as well as my neighbors cars that are not affected. There are other newer makes of vehicles that are noted in research that are being eaten by rodents due to soy. This has caused me time and money and was never disclose to me upon purchase. I am very disappointed and consider this a danger to myself because i don't know if or when the car would stop while i'm driving. I found out all three times upon attempting to start my car in the morning while on my way to work. I got messages that told me to "park the car, check engine, check transmission"... I consider this a manufacturers defect and while i make car payments i have been unable to drive my vehicle. My car is a 2015 acura tlx that i just purchased in january of 2019 certified preowned. This soy based material is tasty to rodent and is causing them to eat at my wires.
