Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Six months after we purchased our new ford 500 from a local dealer we had mice in the car. they ate a hole in the rear seat and got into our winter survival gear including a down sleeping bag. the dealer was very cooperative and tracked how the mice got in. it was through the air release vents in the trunk. the mice simply came in through the vents that were designed to release air when the doors were closed. it was a design flaw. all ford would have had to do was to include metal screen over the vents. when our local dealer asked ford to cover the cost of replacing the seat they were told that the factory didn't cover mice. we live in a cold climate. someone living in the south or southwest could have a lot nastier visitor in their car than a mouse. even mice can chew on wires and trash a car in a short time. ak |
