| Description of the problem | Engine light came on; took vehicle to dealer (have an chrysler? Jeep factory extended warranty. I was informed that because the oxygen sensor harness was chewed by a rodent (probably a chipmunk) that the warranty would cover repair. I have since out that the sheathing for wires used by the manufacture is made from soybean oil or peanut based oil. I ask is this, my fault or the manufacturers fault? I did not nor would i put rodent food in a vehicle. If rodents chew brake lights , this could cause a fatal crash. The vehicle was stationary parked in my home driveway. I have the repair invoice and the chewed oxygen sensor w/harness. |
