Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK IN MY 2002 TOYOTA CAMRY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I SAW A FIRE AND SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WHEN I LIFTED THE HOOD I NOTICED THAT THE EXHAUST WAS RED NEAR THE BURN SITE. AFTER LOOKING ON THE INTERNET I FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS WITH THIS MODEL CATCHING FIRE WHILE DRIVING. *CN *TR
