My friend's lexus IS250 had his coolant hoses chewed up...it was like a 400 dollar fix.

lost my modded turbo'ed 07 tiburon due to rats (i live in florida, we have tree rats that live and love water)

Insurance totaled car out because of the amount of damage they caused no joke. It sat for a few weeks inside a garage and that's when they destroyed my car =(

A buddy of mine, had a rat eat every bit of wire that connected the front clip of the car to the rest of the car.... It was not pretty

A buddy of mine just bought a Kia Soul but the weird thing is that there was no rodents in it.. Jk

Last summer I tried to sell an accord at work and found out that a mama mouse and her babies were hiding around the radiator when my customer wanted to look under the hood.

Solution?

Well there's your problem!
Serpentine belt is loose!

RAT? Wow I am glad my province made them extinct many moons ago, never even seen one and didn't know Vancouver was infested with them?

Damn $250 for just a wire to be put back together. I had it happen to a abs wire and I'm glad I fixed it myself because the squirrel chewed it two more times.

Ya I definitely would have fixed it myself had I known that was the issue... they charged me 2 hours of labor to "find the problem" I could have fixed it myself in 15 minutes in a parking lot... oh well it happens - and apparently not just to me with everyone elses stories!

Cat in the belts of my 91 4Runner. Icky, sticky, gooey mess. The upside was pressure washing it showed me where all the engine leaks were... Many times have had air filters clogged with nuts.

Meanwhile, in Africa

Rats ate a ton of my cables in my jetta last year... funny thing was, my DSG gearbox failed first. So took it to dealership, they did a bunch of stuff, but didnt checked the cables. Got the car back, 30 mins later gearbox failed again... look under the hood and saw most of the cables were chewed ... crazy stuff.

Rats! Never had that happen!
