| Description of the problem | Our vehicle is completely inoperable. The battery works but the vehicle flashes all kinds of warning lights and will not start up. We believe that it may be due to rodents as toyota dealership pointed out rodent issue in cabin air filter last time we went there for some safety recall. It seems to be a huge issue with prius and we would have never bought one had toyota been upfront with the rodent issues that they have with their vehicles. Are there any recalls or class action suit related to this rodent issue and their using soy based wiring and failing to close up rodent access to cabin air filter etc.? Thank you for your time! |
