## Narrative
The Ford Maverick is subject to rodent invasions which caused an engine fire.  We had to file a State Farm Insurance Claim ($4016.36 of repairs done to repair the engine including electrical, emission system, cowl, fuel system, and insulation.)  This was completed XXX.  We have been faithfully spraying the engine with Rodent Repellent, using Natural Repeller packs, and rat snap traps.  We have regularly checked the engine to see if they have come back. Yesterday, XXX, low and behold there was evidence of rat/mice droppings, insulation, food, nesting, etc.  We again have spent time and money to clean the engine and use the above-mentioned products to try to protect the engine.  After moving the truck, again on XXX, there was new evidence. We treated again.  This is causing us stress. This should be a recall and Ford made to remedy.  Sincerely, [XXX] and [XXX]                                            INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
