Toyota Avalon in Georgia, United States Jun 2017 - Jun 2018 | |||
Jul 2017101000 miUS $2000 | I live in a more rural area and have a carport rather than a garage. In spite of the fact that I drive the car daily, squirrels or other rodents nested in the car and ate some of the coating on the wires. Apparently Toyota uses a soy type wire coating that rodents love to eat, and it was very expensive to fix and the mechanics couldn't really recommend a surefire way to prevent it from happening again. Although I have enjoyed my Avalon, this one issue alone may well keep me from buying another Toyota when it comes time to replace my vehicle. |
