THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED AND STALLED, I STEERED IT TO THE ROADSIDE TO CALL FOR A TOW. SPEAKING WITH INSURANCE TOW SERVICE THE CAR STARTED TO SMOKE FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE UNDER THE HOOD. AS I SUPPLIED INFORMATION THE SMOKE VOLUME INCREASED FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE UNDER THE HOOD. SMOKE VOLUME CONTINUED TO INCREASE AND A CRACKLING/BURNING SOUND STARTED. I TOLD THE AGENT I HAVE TO GO AND CALLED 911. I SUPPLIED DETAILS OF THE AREA WHERE THE INCREASING SMOKE WAS COMING FROM, THE CAR LOCATION AND MY STATUS. IN THE CAR I PULLED THE HOOD LEVER, WENT OUTSIDE AND STOPPED SHORT OF OPENING THE HOOD. REALIZING I HAD NO MEANS TO PUT OUT THE INCREASING FIRE I HAD TO WATCH MY CAR BURN UNTIL FIREFIGHTERS ARRIVED. I WALK A DISTANCE AWAY AND WAITED, WHILE THE WHOLE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WENT UP IN SMOKE....UPDATED 09/22/15 *BF UPDATED 11/06/2017*CN

MY CAR HAS BEEN UNABLE TO PASS THE EMISSIONS TEST. MY MECHANIC HAS DONE EVERYTHING UNDER CODE P0401-EGR INSUFFICIENT FLOW AND HAS SPOKEN WITH TOYOTA BUT NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. IN SPEAKING WITH OTHERS AND READING MANY ACCOUNTS OF OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, WE WONDER WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL. DRIVING ILLEGALLY IS TERRIBLE, BUT SOME OF US WHO ARE POOR, ARE FORCED TO DO SO. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT DOES NOTHING TO HELP US TOYOTA OWNERS.
