Hi, my toyota 2016 camry is used as a daily driver. i purchased the new car at the dealership were i work. my job is in the shipping / receiving department and on a monthly basis i will witness 4 to 8 wiring harness repairs. when i asked my manager about it he said "rodent damage, they seem to like the glue or adhesive". we'll guess what ? it has happened too me! a single damaged wire can be debilitating to the electronics in a motor vehicle. in january of this year my complete harness had to be replaced. this is because the wiring harness is not made in a modular or sectional option. please can this ( what seems to be a reoccurring matter) be looked into and possibly addressed?
Automatic lock does not lock when car is in drive and it does not unlock with me pressing the button please helpppp
Vehicle has 18k miles when this happened. i drove from work to grocery store. after leaving the store i stopped at a red light, the abs warning came on then check electrical charging system warning. i put the car in park, then i couldn't get it in gear again. i exited the vehicle to wave the cars behind me to go around because the flashers didn't work. after i got all the other cars past me, i called my husband to come and get me. he suggested that i try restarting the car again, with more pressure on the brakes. this time, it started and i moved it to a nearby parking lot. the next day, it was towed to the dealer. the dealer kept it overnight to run more tests, but they said that no failure was indicated. my husband got the charging system lights to come on, and he verified this with the dealer. the lease is up in in 4 months, but i won't drive it again. toyota corporate was no help, saying no error message on computer means car is safe to drive. god help the next person who buys this car.

Mice, jumping out of everywhere while i'm driving!!! my insurance paid out over $4000.00 and i paid $500 deductible plus $300 to have metal screens put in. i had to replace heater core, air conditioning core, heater fan, duct work, where the mice had built a nest. when the heater fan came on it was like putting the mice through a blender. mouse part everywhere!! soy used in wiring is to blame. shame on the us government and toyota for dumping this car on a unsuspecting public. you buy a brand new car then find out you bought a buffet for rodents!

Soy based components attracting mice that cause damage to wiring, filters, and even blower motor. if the critters eat thru airbag wiring this could be catastrophic.
