“Rodents ate wiring harness in engine compartment, while driving in the city, the trac and check engine light cane on. I returned home and retrieved error code p0333 on my reader. I took vehicle to doxon Toyota for service / repair. They confirmed code and said that rodents had chewed knock sensor wire harness. I was told that tis was not covered by warranty even though the vehicle was less than two years and less than 9000 miles of use.

“First let me start with how I ended up with this horrible vehicle. We had a 2012 chevy diesel, amazing truck, great truck. Diesel prices had been rising and was just costing to much to drive and we wanted to start saving some money. We shopped around and ended up looking at the Toyota Tacoma, not the best quality but none the less decent gas mileage (or so we thought). Since day one we have not been able to get better then 15 mpg on the highway! Absolutely ridiculous! 14 city! Have had fuel efficiency test done and that's what they came up with as well and claim nothing is wrong. …”

“Abs warning lights came on with stability warning light, 10 amp fuse blew, brake lights stop working, stick shift locked. Replaced 10 amp fuse warning lights went away but by driving the car the brakes start to stall the car making it impossible to keep driving and all the warning lights described before came back on. But this time the stick shift did not lock. Safety hazard. When the problem started the vehicle was stationary, but then it happen on the road.”

“Electronic stability control turns off when check engine light turns on. Vehicle stability is compromised. Almost rolled the truck over. Dealer technician reports that rodents ate the hose connecting fuel injector air pump to valve which triggers the ecu to fault and cascades failure to stability control. Technician reports that Toyota is using edible soy-based plastics for engine hoses and wiring harness and rodents are causing extensive damage in Toyota vehicles. Toyota does not cover related repairs under manufacturers warranty. …”
