On june 13th. My 2008 toyota tundra inexplicably cought on fire. The fire was located on the left side of the dash and the left front door. The truck was running, idle with the air conditioner on the windows were up. I had both of my small dogs inside. I was not in the truck . That day was clear sky and starting to get hot for the dogs . I always leave the truck running with AC on for them. I was busy working on a 2000 hino medium duty truck. My truck was parked next to the hino . I was in the hino.
The ABS actuator failed on my 2008 toyota tundra. Which causes all my dash function to fail, no antilock brakes, no 4x4, speedometer inoperable. Cost for repairs. $2500. Trucks only three years old.
