What owners wrote
On the morning of July 21st the vehicle was parked in the garage the night before when all of the sudden our neighbors were yelling at my wife and I to exit the house because they saw fire flames and black smoke coming out of the garage. Everything in that garage and part of the house was destroyed. After it was safe to enter the house we noticed the damage was concentrated where the Toyota was parked, the explosion from the engine caused the hood to almost touch the windshield. Half the engine was gone.
While driving warning lights on dashboard lit up and car shut down.according to screen on dash it showed malfunction of airbags, ABS, lane change warning, among other system parts. Able to restart car and drive it to dealer. Toyota notified me that squirrels had eaten the main wire harness. Not covered under warranty.
