Description of the problem	While the vehicle was in the process of being driven it began to develop electrical problems. Ultimately the electrical problem developed into a fire that damaged components under the hood as well as causing structural damages. At the present time the vehicle remains in its post fire condition awaiting repair. The vehicle involved is a 2003 toyota tacoma double cab, it was purchased new and was and is under full factory warranties. As of yet nothing has been done by toyota or by the local dealership to address the problem and to repair the vehicle. Instead, both toyota and their local dealership have repeatedly instructed me to absorb the problem myself by turning it into my insurance company. This then exposes me to costs outside of the warranty, makes the insurance carrier responsible for a defect that should be coverable by warranty and does nothing to assure the cause of the fire was forever corrected to prevent a re-occurrence to either myself or to others who may suffer the same problems. *jb
