What owners wrote
We purchased Toyota Camry in 2013. Currently, it has a mileage of less than 100K. We regularly serviced it at Landers Toyota dealership, and the last maintenance was performed a week before the accident. Driving home from work, my wife heard a bang and felt a jolt after which she was forced to stop. There were no warning signs. The car was filled with smoke and seconds later the flames appeared from underneath the car (luckily, she managed to escape without injuries).
Within two or three days after the 10,000 mile check-up(july 3,2014) my wife and I noticed a stagnant odor coming from the A/C vents on first start up in the morning. A/C had been set on recycle air. We set the A/C to run with air flow on vent and odor is still there. A/C ran for awhile and odor would go away. Odor just got worse on every start up. Carried to toyota service department where we purchased camry and let the service manager smell the odor coming from the A/C vents at 8 am july 20, 2014.
