NHTSA Complaint #10871597 — 2011 TOYOTA PRIUS

2011 TOYOTA PRIUS 3. ( MOST MODELS 2010-2014) ENGINEERING DESIGN FLAW ALLOWS MICE TO EASILY ACCESS INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE THROUGH AIR SYSTEM. WHEN MICE ARE PRESENT WHILE DRIVING THIS CREATES A DRIVING DISTRACTION THAT CAN LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH. TOYOTA CORP REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM, BUT THE DEALERSHIP DOES FIELD COMPLAINTS BUT WILL NOT ACT BECAUSE TOYOTA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AN ORDER A BULLETIN . I HAVE PHOTOS AND SOLUTION TO ISSUE, HOWEVER SEVERAL OTHERS MAY BE UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH WILL RESULT IN ADDITIONAL FINDINGS. I MYSELF AM A VICTIM OF THE DESIGN FLAW AND NEARLY RESULTED IN A CAR ACCIDENT. WITHOUT BEING DRAMATIC- THIS IS TRULY A ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED SERIOUSLY. I CANT PROVIDE MORE DETAILS IF NEEDED. I'M NOT LOOKING TO GAIN MONEY, MEDIA ATTENTION OR ANYTHING ELSE OTHER THAN THERE IS TRULY AN ISSUE AND I WANT OTHERS TO BE SAFE. ITS HEARTBREAKING TO LOOK IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR TO SEE A 15 MONTH OLD BABY SCREAMING BECAUSE A MOUSE IS RUNNING ACROSS HER BODY AND ANOTHER MOUSE IS RUNNING ACROSS THE BACK SEAT AND THEN THE FLOOR BOARD UNDER YOUR FEET WHILE TRYING TO PULL OVER WITH NO ROAD SHOULDER.
