 Description of the problemThe body of the truck is designed to allow rodents/mice into the cab where they can chew the wiring which will lead to a variety of problems. The truck currently has about 3300 miles on it. When i contacted the dealer they said yeah all these trucks have this, what has been damaged so we can get it in for repair. I asked if it was covered under warranty and they said no. Coating the wiring with a soy (mouse food) based product is insanity unless you're trying to increase your repair business. There are 16 computers in this truck that control everything. When the wiring is damaged because of this design flaw all sorts of malfunctions will occur that include steering, engine quitting, brakes failing, throttle, lights, etc. The dealer is very aware of the problem and specializes in fixing it to the tune of about $200 so far. I haven't had a wiring problem because of mice but others have. This very funny (to the dealer0 problem will eventually kill people if it hasn't already.
