I had been driving my car on the turnpike for about 3. 5 s when smoke started coming out of the area against the windshield where the rear view mirror is attached inside of the vehicle. A fire then spontaneously started. I pulled over and put out the fire by throwing water onto the area from a bottle of water I had in my car causing my windshield to crack. As a result of the fire my anti-collision system and other systems(automatic headlights) no longer work. I contacted Toyota to notify them of the issue. They sent an inspector to meet me at a dealership and told me that is was due to my windshield being replaced 18 months prior by safelite and I didn't use Toyota windshield (letter attached). Toyota returned my car and the area still heated up and smoked. I took it upon myself to remove the housing behind the rear view mirror and found that the metal camera was over heating and causing the plastic housing to melt (pictures attached). I unplugged the camera and the safety issue is resolved. However, that camera controls the anti-collision system and my automatic headlights.
When one starts the car by pushing the start bottom, the car will start to shake and soon a very load cracking and rattling noise will began coming from the engine. Engine light will come on while driving in the city and then turns off causing the driver to be aware of some issue. Once the concerning noise goes away the car continues to shake but eventually stops after a while. This could make the car to stall and causing a potential crash. The vehicle left blind side detector does not respond 100%, it only works about 60% of the time. This causes the driver to think he/she are clear to turn to the left lane in the city and highway and it can cause the driver to hit another car and potentially crashing. The screen panel glitches from time to time while driving in the highway causing the driver to not be able to see and locate radio stations or manipulate the panel.
The navigation screen crack with unknown cause. The cracks are in different spot on the navigation screen, but mostly, they crack from function button and spread up. It happened 6 months after I bought the car.
