What owners wrote
Our car door panel caught on fire 12/7/2011 . Toyota did and investigation and found the door control switch was at fault ,they replace it at no cost to us .the car filled with smoke ??
Since I buy the car sometimes when I turn ignition on it makes the noise that is starting all lights on the dashboard turn on for a almost a 20 to 30 sec. Then sometimes when I'm driving the speed gear drops with out me braking also when I turn right signal on sometimes the reverse light on dashboard also turn on. One time all lights on dashboard were blinking went I turn signal on.
