Rats will build nests in your engine.....be aware they will chew wires due to their soy based wire coatings, so if odd problems start happening use that warranty fancy pants. Also congrats on evolving.

Rodent damage isn’t covered under warranty. Use that insurance instead, fancy pants.

Insurance will say it’s not enough damage to go past the deductible…

I don't know what your comprehensive deductible is, but replacing a wiring harness from rat damage can easily go over $1,000.

As an auto technician I see more Toyotas with tasty wiring than any other

Yeah, I’m bringing it to the service place before we go away this weekend (just in case), but since it’s only a couple years old and I took it in just a month or two ago for standard maintenance, hopefully rats didn’t fully set up shop in in one weekend lol

I've fixed wiring on the same 16 rav 4 three different times this fall, twice at the transmission connector and once at the throttle body.

Stupid question, why doesn't the manufacturer put Bitrex in the wires?
