    Yeah... Out in the PNW we basically have 65%-99% humidity for 9 or 10 out of every 12 months so owning a powerful dehumidifier is essential if you're like me and have way too many houseplants.

    Well I reached out to 30 more lawyers and got 6 responses this past week all saying the same thing about Toyota needing to confirm the issue and replace parts.

    Asking one of those lawyers to write a letter saying that to the Toyota Stealership will likely get you better results because they'll realize it could get way more expensive than the value of the car if they don't do what your lawyer asked them to do!

    You can get a small dehumidifier for around $100, it doesn't have to be big because they're made for houses and a car is a lot smaller area
