Consumer Description

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. *TR
