Description of the problem	Black shredded material blew out of the air vents upon starting the car. If i had not had the a/c on and, rather, chose to turn it on while driving, i might have been blinded by the large amount of shredded material that flew into my face and eyes. - that is a liability as far as i am concerned. Had i been driving, i can see that i would have had a very difficult time being able control something i could not see. I was told by the dealership that i may have a rodent issue - i have done some research on line and have learned that toyota, among other car manufacturers, is constructing vehicle parts out of biodegradable products, including soy, cane husks, etc., making my car a tasty treat for nasty animals. Furthermore, there is nothing that prevents something from crawling from the outside into the cabin through the engine and i believe that to be a manufacturing defect. I am looking for toyota to cover the cost of fixing this issue.
