Hello, two day ago I was pulling put of my condo complex when I noticed a burning plastic smell. After about 20 seconds smoke and very small flames started to pour out of the drivers door panel where the switches are located. There was no major fire damage but the car was filled with smoke and the switch that operates the passenger side front window melted down. I fortunately had some tools nearby so I quickly disconnected the battery cables as it was still arcing and sparking.
My 2007 toyota tundra sr5 has a very bad frame and under body rust issue (I have multiple pictures and videos I can provide). Last august, I found out on a toyota forum that there is a recall/class action settlement for this issue [link removed] I have contacted toyota coorporate on (or around) 08/03/2018 (incident: 180803-000275) for more information and asked where I should take my truck for inspection. I was told they can't help because my truck was built (of configured) for the canadian market.
