TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1992 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S DOOR COULD NOT BE UNLOCKED OR OPENED FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE STEERING COLUMN WOULD ALSO EXHIBIT AN ABNORMAL CRUNCHING SOUND WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL IN ANY DIRECTION. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL RADIATING FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 180,000.
WHILE DRIVING MY 1992 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE 6 ON THE INTERSTATE, WITH THE RADIO ON, SMOKE SUDDENLY STARTED COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND QUICKLY FILLED THE CABIN. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. I LOOKED UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT AND SAW A WIRED ELECTRIC MODULE WHICH WAS RED-HOT TO THE TOUCH. (SLIGHTLY BURNED FINGERTIP) I THEN CALLED FOR HELP AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY HOME. THE NEXT DAY I FOUND OUT THAT THE UNDERSEAT SMOKING MODULE WAS THE STEREO POWER AMPLIFIER FOR THE RADIO. ALSO, I FOUND ON THE INTERNET REPORTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM ON OTHER CAMRYS WHICH RESULTED IN FIRES. *TR
ELECTRICAL WIRING IN FACTORY CAR STEREO STARTED ON FIRE, CAUSING CAR FIRE WHILE DRIVING. RADIO HAD TO BE REPLACED. MAY STILL HAVE OLD RADIO. *TR
VEHICLE FIRE IN THE ENGINE DUE TO POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL FAILURE. MJS
