We owned a 91 toyota camery, it caught fire for the second time only this time it burned to a crisp. I remember there being a recall on the radio before, but thats all. Our car caught fire the beginning of the year and we replaced the engine. There was no reason found why car caught fire. This time saturday 9-10-00 it caught fire on the parkway. Why? We have 3 vechicles, well we had 3 now only two. My daughter drive a toyta tercell, the woman of the house drive a 96 avalon. We thought toyato was the dependable car. We need some answers. I'm sure you are not who I should directing this question to, but I am asking everybody I can. Please get in touch with me at work or at home. I just need to understand what happen. Thanks, crystal woodley.
Automobile was returned to dealer 3 times. No personell could give a reason for condition, had to trade car in for a new one because car was not driveable at that point. No safety defect mentioned in summary.
