“The vehicle was parked in my drive way. Squirrels chewed the wiring harness causing loss of ABS braking, stability control and loss of windshield wipers (during a rain). I understand Toyota uses food based insulation in the 2010 Fj Cruiser. A nice source of squirrel food. From the bare wires and squirrel nesting, it is a wonder my engine compartment didn't catch fire. I believe the squirrel nest building was due to the close food source.”
NHTSA complaint #11010821, filed 2017-07, 60,000 miles“Review mirror failing to automatically dim under any lighting, including sun, directly entering through the rear window of the vehicle. This has always been like this, it is just with these new high-intensity lights on the new, 2016-2019, that it has become more of a hazard at night. This occurs on all roadways.”
