MY CAR IS DRIVEN EVERY DAY IS ACURA MAKING CARS WITH PRODUCTS THAT ATTRACT RODENTS AND RACCOONS? WHERE WAS MY CAR PREVIOUSLY STORED BEFORE ARRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP? HOW LONG WAS MY VEHICLE IN STORAGE BEFORE ARRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND BEING SOLD TO ME AND OTHER CONSUMERS? RODENTS NESTING AND CHEWING WIRES UNDER THE HOOD, THIS HAPPENED BEFORE I PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE AND NOW IT HAS MANIFESTED 17 MONTHS LATER. I WANT ALL REPAIRS DONE AT NO COST OR A NEW VEHICLE.
