Default Wires cut under hood

So I recently just used my car and it’s a 2022 Chevy Malibu ls and I went to go somewhere 3 hours later and these wires were cut and I have a reduce engine power warning! Help is this normal? Has this happened to anyone else? I also found a brownie right by the wires as well weird!

OK, your question is very vague, so I will directly address the exact questions you asked ...

Obviously, wires are not supposed to get chewed up.

Not me, because we have a cat.
However, it has happened to many, many people. It is a common complaint.

If that's not the answer you're looking for, then you maybe you need to ask better.

Like, maybe you're wondering what you should do now? The answer to that is call your insurance provider because it could be a very expensive repair bill.

That is a bad situation. You can splice all the wires back together as they are color coded. Solder them and use heat shrink tubing.
