Description of the problem | I was driving my car on a secondary road and warning lights started going off at the same time(abs,precollision warning, engine light,etc.) my husband drove it to the local toyota dealership. The toyota service rep advises me that the engine wires have been chewed by rodents. He also advises me that this is not a toyota problem so my bumper to bumper warranty would not cover it. He advised my auto insurance would have to pay for it. The problem is a toyota problem. They have started using plant-based material to cover the wiring which attracts rodents. There is a class action lawsuit, but not for my model of car. Also, this is going to get someone killed, because you can't hardly keep the car on the road after it happens. I don't have any paperwork yet, because my car is still at the dealership. |
