| Description of the problem | On august 24th , 2012, around 4:34pm, i was traveling in my 2007 toyota camry on ridge road in dayton nj. All of a sudden i smell something like burning plastic,seconds later i observed smoke coming from the driver side power-window switch. I managed to pull over safely and as soon as i jumped out of the vehicle, a small flame appeared from the power window switch. While calling 911 for help, i managed to put the fire out with a gallon of tide detergent i have in my trunk before dayton fire department arrived. I am not sure if toyota is aware of this problem and i don't where to lodge my complain. The is currently at dch collision center waiting for the insurance company to inspect. |
