Problem overview

Some Lexus LS430 owners report experiencing issues related to mice intrusion in their air conditioning systems, such as contamination of the air, clogged filters, and damage to fan blades, which can lead to unpleasant odors throughout the vehicle. These problems often arise from unsealed cracks, gaps, or holes in the AC unit that allow mice to enter. Additionally, without proper preventive measures like using mesh screens for air vents, owners may discover signs of infestation, including scratching noises, droppings, or foul odors. It is also noted that neglecting to keep the area around the outdoor AC unit clear of vegetation can attract animals, increasing the risk of intrusion. To mitigate these issues, it is advisable for owners to regularly inspect their systems, use chemical repellents cautiously, and maintain their air conditioners properly to ensure efficient operation and air quality.
