The contact owns a 2012 Scion Xb. After starting the engine, smoke was present coming from the dashboard. The vehicle was examined by an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the failure occurred due to a faulty computer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 80,000.

While parking smoke or steam started coming from under the hood and me thinking the car was over heating pulled the hood release and before I could open the hood flames shoot from the right fender. I run into home depot and yell to call the fire department and ask if anyone has a fire extinguisher and a young man came running out with a good size extinguisher and put out the rapid growing flames. The fire department reported that the fire was started by a short circuit in the right fender.
