My windshield wiper fluid would not stay filled and I realized an animal has eaten all the tubing and various other wiring under the hood. There is a nest with acorns in the engine area but I am not sure if it is a squirrel or mouse. Kia says it isn't their problem but apparently it's because of the soy based wiring? Why shouldn't they be responsible for fixing the problem, especially if deaths may occur if brake lines or something else serious is eaten through? No idea how much this will cost me or what all that I don't know about is damaged. GRRRR!!!!
