Big deal. I just got a new company car. Had it for just over a month when a headlight quit working. Took it to dealer who removed a few parts and found a cookie in the engine compartment underneath the washer water bottle. The rodent who managed to get a cookie into my engine also ate a bunch of wire.

I’m assuming this won’t be a one time problem since Toyota and many other car companies now make biodegradable wire insulation out of soy. (food)

This is a big problem sometimes. I didn’t know about the wiring being made out of something more desirable to a rodent’s palate. Rodents have been known to cause a huge amount of damage to wiring & now it sounds like it could be worse. Suppose the manufacturer will warranty it?
