## Narrative
On Dec 5, 2024, our 2018 Toyota Rav 4 caught fire in our garage.  We had turned on the car for a few minutes and then turned it off.  Shortly thereafter smoke came out of the passenger side of the front  wheel well and then flames.  It just happened that we came back out into the garage and were able to put out the fire with a fire extinguisher.  If we had not returned to the garage, our house would have caught on fire and perhaps with us in the house.  Toyota shows no concern for us. Wouldn’t consider paying for a loaner car.  Have told us it will be 40-60 days to perhaps tell us what happened.  They did send an inspector to look at the car Dec 26 2024.  He sent us some information that we do not understand.
