Second is that the front headlamps fill up with water/moisture during cold weather/rain/ and car washes. This could lead to the headlamps shorting out causing an accident…

I experienced a bad smell in the cabin, particularly when first switching on the ignition, which causes the cabin air fan to start running. I checked the cabin air filter. There were rat feces in the pleats of the filter, a smell of rat urine, and there was foam material from the inside of the car. Presumably the rats had been chewing it to make a nest. They had also been chewing on the filter material. The local…
