What owners wrote
Rodents appear to be attracted to the engine compartment where they are eating critical wiring. The wiring is associated with the fuel injection system. I had the vehicle repaired with the dealership, costing me $600. After returning the vehicle from these repairs at the dealership, I parked the vehicle at home and again rodents entered the engine compartment and chewed up additional wiring the very next day. The new repairs cost me and additional $600. The home is located in a rural area under a carport.
Would not start, 25,000 . Hybrid malfunction warning, ocs warming, pre-collision warning, brake system warning. Dealer claimed software update issue. Had to be towed, late to work urgent care/covid, uber to dealer to get loaner, upset. Friday it happened again and I had surgery scheduled. Hybrid malfunction warning pre-collision warning, do not drive, call dealer, tow truck tested battery and it was good. Lights, bells, stereo worked, held key fob to push start no.
