    Keep us posted.

    Likely will be with your insurance to start - who should almost certainly bring out an origin & cause (O&C) investigator to determine the cause of fire.

    I would most certainly ask for a copy. Toyota may or may not agree with the findings - or they may not be able to determine a cause.

    My personal opinion though this one they should be able to trace a cause to. Not like many I’ve seen where all that’s left are ashes and a frame.

    Even though source of ignition wasn’t at those charging cables - will not surprise me if they are the cause. Just seen way way too many fires from those things. Of course have also seen more than a few batteries and other electrical components responsible too.

    Short in a switch/knob on climate control ? Seems to be pretty hot in that area.

    I’m betting that coffee was too hot.

    I know a lawyer who has experience in cases like this. His name is Jackie Chiles.

    Going to need to see the stats on "most car fires are started by a joint or weed pipe" I am going to call bull crap on that one 100%. What an insane thing to try to say.


    That women actually had her gentiles are burned up and stuff. I always joked about it too, but about a year ago I read an article that explained it a bit more.

    sorry this happened to you but I am glad it didn’t happen while you were driving or had someone in the vehicle that couldn’t readily escape. I hope it all works out in your favor
