| Description of the problem | Rabbits have eaten the power steering 3 times in 2 months. They love the pepper tape they are wrapping it with to fix the problem. My husband and i had to force a rabbit out of it, rabbit was determined to take the wires with it. Honda won't give me a permanent fix. Cant believe they are allowed to use food products on vehicles. 1st 2 times vehicle was found disabled, 3rd time found the rabbit in it, started the vehicle and it wouldn't come out, had to hit it with a stick it did get out, but then it came right back, so i got my husband and he and i had to force it out. The car was disabled again, i could have been driving while this critter did this and that would not have been safe at all. At this point i have no faith in the new vehicles with food products used in them. Car was parked in carport. My last resort to fix this problem is to use coyote urine to keep them away. Just not right. |
