On December 5, 2007, I came out of costco to find the fire department had already put out the engine fire on my 2005 Toyota Sienna - absolutely no warning. It happened after I had gone in to shop so the engine was completely off with no person in it.

Vehicle has excessive spark knock at low speeds, starting from a stop and at normal driving speed when engine is under a load. Spark knock worse when engine is warmed up and during warm weather. Changing octane level does not help spark knock. This has been happening since vehicle was bought in April 2005. Vehicle has been back to the dealer several times to try to fix the issue to no avail.
