| Description of the problem | A squirrel ate through my windshield washer hoses. I got the hoses replaced, then 3 months later it happened again, and i had to replace them again. One time i was moving when i discovered i had non-functioning washers, and the other time it was while my car was stationary. There is a class action lawsuit against honda for the soy-based coating honda uses, which attracts rodents. The honda service manager pretended he knew nothing about this situation, even though honda makes a rodent-deterrent tape for this very reason. Although the safety factor was minimal due to never knowing whether i have functioning windshield washers unless i test them each time i turn on the car, i have read about honda owners who have had rodents eat through their main harnesses. |
