Original Comment Please inform me if I am misguided. Where in this world is there not a mouse? In June 2012 we purchased a brand new not yet out of the shipping plastic FJ Cruiser. Having had one prior to this one and noooooo mouse invasion, we decided to treat ourselves to a brand new FJ...of course we were excited to receive this brand new FJ. Well less than 3 months later, guess what mice began entering our brand new vehicle. At first I began blaming myself feeling that I had left a door ajar or what ever, however when more mice kept invading the vehicle, I became very suspicious. Stopped blaming myself that is for sure. As well I set 5 mouse traps inside the vehicle and had mouse bait bars tucked in side engine and bumper to hopefully eliminate this mouse invasion. Well to no reduction of invasion I called Rainbow Toyota in NOrth Battleford Sk. &quot;bring in this vehicle immediately and a wire mesh screen in heater air intake will be installed to replace the<br /> existing and to my understanding completely useless cloth?? screen that is in all new FJ's&quot;. Today I have the vehicle back. Of course more dead mice (I guess) were found inside vehicle and the entire vehicle was ''sanitized''. Perhaps the dead mice were taken out , however the vehicle still reaks of mouse poop, dead mice, and mice urine.....<br /> And to top it off we as the consumer of this vehicle had to pay the full cost of allllll of this mouse invasion cleanup.<br /> Now tell me please; Wouldn't it be easier to have these ''wire mouse proof'' screeens installed as a mandatory installation as the vehicle is being manufactured? I prosed this question to Rainbow and it is to my understanding Rainbow Toyota is doing this installation when the vehicles are brought in AFTER THE FACT OF A MOUSE INVASION....how come this isn't done prior tooo purchasing of vehicle? Or even upon purchasing the vehicle. Where We live IT IS MOUSE COUNTRY, AND NOT ONLY FARMERS AND AGRICULTURE FOLK EXPERIENCE MICE as I am informed the reason why we have such mouse invasion-give me a break. Yes, I am somewhat or should I say very disappointed in the Toyota Company as a whole.....in the fact of complete negligence or perhaps just plain laziness that the ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY 'WIRE SCREENS' are an after thought or NOT EVEN CONSIDERED AT TIME OF MANUFACTURING. Now we have a practically only 4 month old vehicle that reaks of mouse crap and no compensation from Toyota Head Company is even offered to us. When one pays a very healthy dollar to drive a vehicle they love, and a vehicle that is all terrain, (duh mouse country vehicle), wouldn't Toyota Manufacturing Company have the forsight to do better in this area? Funny thing is, I owned a Ford Bronco for 14 years and never once did i have a mouse invasion and YES I WORKED AT A CATTLE YARD OF 100,000 HEAD . GO FIGURE. Good thing I am not there today or the FJ would have been just a beautiful new home for all mice to be partying in. <br /> Has anyone else had this challenge with any of Toyota's vehicles?
