The contact owned a 2017 Toyota Camry. The contact's wife was driving approximately 30 MPH and began to smell smoke and pulled over. The contact's wife saw smoke coming from the A/C vents. The contact said his wife did not notice any warning lights. The contact stated that no more than 2 minutes after smelling smoke the entire vehicle was burning from inside the cabin. The vehicle was fully engulfed. The fire department and police were on the scene. The police filed a report, and the vehicle was extinguished, but the contact was not sure if water or foam was used.

While driving home from work I suddenly noticed green smoke billowing from under my passenger seat. I immediately pulled over rolled my windows down I removed my back pack from the seat that was smoldering on top of the seat . There was absolutely nothing combustible in my back pack I removed my back back from the vehicle. The extinguished itself some how. I began coughing and choking due to the toxic smoke. Once I felt that the fire in the passenger seat was no longer a threat to my life. I begrudgingly continued my drive home which was an additional 15 Miles home. I am a sheriff deputy for Los Angeles county I realized that getting off the highway was the safest place for my self and other vehicles around me. The 15 freeway is a very busy highway and is not safe to remain on the side of the road unless there was an immediate threat of danger or an accident that needed to be reported. I arrived home safely but extremely unnerved. I do not smoke I do not use vaping or any other such things. I took several pictures it's quite obvious the seat caught on fire from under or within the seat. There is absolutely zero aftermarket products added to my vehicle . All of my vehicle maintenance has been done at Toyota dealerships only. This incident was very scary to say the least. Fortunately I had no passengers had I had my teenage children wife or anyone else in the front passenger seat the potential of serious harm could have occurred. I am reporting this as Toyota claims no recalls for this vehicle. My vehicle warranty just recently expired. Toyota has many recalls on several different years for this type of thing occurring. With my personal experience, I highly recommend this incident be investigated, and a possible recall should be implemented for the safety of others. There appears in pictures that the wiring underneath the seat initiated the fire. Toyota needs to be responsible for this.
