Description of the problem	The "check engine" light came on a week ago and the engine became sluggish when accelerating. We took the car to marin subaru service department where they did a diagnostic test. Result is that a rodent must have chewed through the soy-based harness covering the sensor wire. Repair bill = $1,400, subaru says its not covered by the new car warranty. They are telling us not to drive the car now as it could be dangerous. Insurance says it does not cover this either. Subaru and the other mftrs have known about this issue for some time apparently but continue to use material they know attracts rodents.
