They told me that the little rats apparently chewed through wiring, causing my outlets to not work at the very least. (And of course, warranty doesn't cover this and I had to pay out of pocket for their "diagnosis.")
Unfortunately, I go to school in San Diego and had my car checked out in Los Angeles so after filing a claim w/ insurance, I now have to get my car repaired at a shop out in SD...
Also something that may or not be correlated with this issue is the fact that when I'd start my car, it would very weakly turn over and then immediately die in the "stalled" position. (I drive a 7AT.)
