For the 2nd time in 5 weeks, the main wiring harness and knock sensor have been eaten and destroyed by rodents. this has caused thousands of dollars worth of damage, and it's due to the soy based wiring used in the wiring harness. i cannot keep this vehicle outside for any period of time without the threat of the harnesses getting chewed.

I was driving on the highway with no one around me. temperature was around 60 degrees at 7:15am. my sunroof glass shattered as if it was a gunshot and the glass was pointed outward. it terrified my special needs child and myself and took a while for her to calm down. i drove it home later and opened up the sunroof to shattered glass everywhere. i have looked online and it is a known defect. i have a dash cam as well.
