I turned on rear defrost and within few seconds back seat was on fire. Window burnt seat and seat belt also burned hand. It appears to have been a possible electrical cause. I figured a fuse would blow prior to a fire inside car. Had I been on fwy I would have not been lucky gas tank is inches below fire.

2 years ago, more or less, I adjusted the driver's seat and the steering wheel of my 1999 Toyota Camry le. Since that time, on occasion, I am unknowingly turning on the cruise control which is a button on the end of an arm off the steering column. I cannot reset the seat and steering wheel position to fit me but I am very worried that having the cruise control operating my car when I don't know it may be a very dangerous situation for me and my car.

Driver seat broke into a reclining position during rear impact collision - after being pushed into two other vehicles, for front end impact, neither no airbag deployed - I am concerned that had the vehicle impacted me harder and come into the back seat a little more, the reclining driver seat would have resulted in severe head injuries if not worse.
