| Description of the problem | I was driving my sienna on a 2 lane town road and without warning smelled smoke. As i was pulling over cars in the oncoming lane were honking at me as they saw the fire underneath where the engine is. When i pulled over smoke entered into the car. I stepped out, heard a pop, and now the entire front of the car was full on fire. The fire department arrived on scene quickly and extinguished the fire. I filed an incident report with toyota. I received a call from a man saying he was hired by toyota to investigate the fire and report back to them. To date, i have received zero communication from anyone at toyota regarding this serious matter. |
