Wiring problems of the 2012 Toyota Camry

The center electronic 6 function etune console, which contains the radio/cd player, gps, car and cell phone operations, died on Nov 16, 2020. I made appointment and took it to daytona Toyota the next day. The tech did a diagnostic and told me that the radio unit was fried. Sm said a replacement unit would cost $827. I agreed. I drove my car home and noticed that the radio had revived, but the only thing in the lcd panel was the station # in the top left corner of screen. No other function worked and I noticed for the first time that the steering wheel stereo/mode controls did not work. I brought the car back 4 days later to have the radio replaced and told them that the old radio am/fm had been working, but none of the other functions, and the steering wheel function buttons did not work. The tech did a 2nd diagnostic and found that the wiring harness had become twisted and some of the connectors pulled loose. They told me it would be an additional $650 to replace the defective wiring harness. They ordered the part and replaced it two days later. Has any other Toyota owner reported this problem?.

The front passenger and rear driver door locks/unlocks intermittently. Sometimes, I have to lock/unlock manually, other times it works with the key fob. There is no rhyme, reason or pattern to when it does or doesn't work. The doors normally lock when I shift out of park, it now does it intermittently as well. I have checked the fuse, switch, and wiring. They are all in good working order. When I push the lock button, both doors click, but do not always lock/unlock.

Rodents have discovered the soy compound used to insulate the wires. My daughter has had to replace wiring twice in the last month. The damage to the wiring results in engine and transmission issues including stalling. This is as dangerous as the issues affecting gm cobalts.

The contact owns a 2012 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that the vehicle was parked and became engulfed in flames. The vehicle was destroyed. The contact was informed by the fire marshall that the wiring under the instrument panel had caused the fire. The VIN was unavailable. The failure and current mileage was 28,000.
