Aug 212006

Land Cruiser 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 85,000 miles
: the contact stated while traveling 40 mph, there was black smoke coming from the driver side door panel. The smoke got darker and the contact pulled over. An orange glow was noticed between the controls and a bottle of water was poured in the door to extinguish the fire. The vehicle was taken to the dealership who determined there was a short in the wiring system that caused the fire. The wires were repaired. The master control switch was replaced. Updated 09/20/06.
