Mice Ate My Car!

JohnsZ · 02-15-2013, 03:23 PM

When I bought my 370Z from a dealer which was previously owned, I discovered that whenever I turned on my vent fan, I would get a banging type noise especially when I turned it up high. The car also had a weird odor. I brought my Z to the dealer to check out the vent system and it turned out that who ever had the car before me, parked it either outdoors or in a garage that had some kind of rodent in it. The sound coming from the fan was acorns jostling around and the odor was from the nesting material of some rodent. I was pissed at the dealer for not checking this out before I bought the Z so they agreed to pay half of the cost of cleaning out the entire vent system which came to around $600. What is it about our Zs that are so tempting to these critters. I guess they like them as much as we do!
