Warning problems of the 2023 Lexus RX

My Rx350 experienced malfunction of the advanced driver assistance systems (adas). Messages regarding the malfunction of the adas first appeared around mid-August 2024. Upon inspection during the week of August 27 2024, the Lexus dealer, akron-canton of Lexus, indicated that the malfunction was caused by rats chewing on the soy-based wiring. The dealership replaced the wiring at a cost of $1,295. 10. This is a problem caused by faulty design and inappropriate parts and design. It is inconceivable that car parts would be made of animal food. This put me and my family at serious risk of accident, as my reliance on warnings was severely compromised. Lexus needs to immediately replace the soy-covered wiring with something that is not edible by rodents or any other wildlife. In the interim, an equitable solution would be to reimburse the actual costs as well as compensate for the risks thrust upon drivers by their reckless use of inappropriate material. The repair invoice is attached.

Purchased a brand new Lexus Rx 350h on April 28, 2023. Within 2-3 weeks, the vehicle started issuing alerts that parts of the adas were malfunctioning, and therefore the vehicle was disabling the entire adas. This warning would come on while driving, and even after clearing the warning, it would pop back up within seconds. Took the new car to the dealer over 4 weeks ago to have this addressed, and they still can't figure out how to replace the faulty part and reprogram the vehicle. This is a brand new car with only about 1,000 miles on it. The dealer has indicated that Lexus corporate is seeing this issue with a bunch of their new 2023 cars, and Lexus doesn't have the new parts nor the manpower in place to address this issue.
