Brake wiring issue

We have a 2010 Copper Canyon with similar issues. Hidden in the underbelly are unsecured wires for trailer brakes running lights turn signals etc. Our wiring got caught in the slide mechanism leaving us without turn signals or brake lights delaying our maiden voyage trip. After repairing these issues by our dealer we went our way only to have the taillight wiring get caught in the slide and ripped apart.
The brake wire connectors from the underbelly to the axle are cheap open ended connectors with no protection from the elements such as shrink tubing, weather packs etc. The wiring running to the brakes are draped over the spring and axle with no protection whatsoever. Our brake wiring broke at the connector on our way home from Arizona, luckily there was no incident. These are dangerous issues and I will also report them to NHTSA as well.
