	On my way home from driving my parents to the airport on may 18th, 2010 at approximately 4:00pm my check engine and low tire pressure light came on. i returned home and was there for a few hours. around 7:00pm i went out to dinner with a friend. i returned back home shortly after 10:00pm. at approximately 1:10am on may 19th, 2010 i heard the sound of what i thought was fire crackers from the front of my home. i went outside to investigate the noise and to my complete shock my entire vehicle was in flames. i immediately called 911. the fire department put out the fire and said they believed it was electrical. i called the fire investigator that same day and left a message for him to come back out. on may 20th, 2010 around 9am michael burkhart from cape coral fire, rescue & emergency management services came to my home to investigate the fire. he determined that it was caused around the wire housing towards the back of the engine as he pointed out where the most heat was located. also the wiring that goes to the housing in the engine was completely burned to the metal unlike the wiring inside the passenger compartment which still had some plastic coating over it. the report number is 10-007498 for the city of cape coral fire department.

	I have a 2006 toyota scion tc and the rear hatch handle has completely come off for the 4th time in 5 years. the first time it was covered under warranty, the 2nd and 3rd time it was covered by the dealership as a courtesy but, as the car is out of warranty, they want to chage me $260. judging by what i have read, there is certainly a problem in the design to expect two clips to hold a piece of plastic that is directly in front of the latch that opens the trunk. there is a tsb in january this year that covers the back door handle garnish that is loos or broken, but my dealership says that is not the same. for me to spend money on an obvious toyota manufacturing problem that will occur again is ridiculous. i have it taped on with duct tape that is really a nice color. how do i get satisfaction from toyota? is there a tsb that i can't find?
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

	I took a 2006 scion tc in for a mechanic to investigate the cause of a check engine warning light. during his test drive, the vehicle reportedly unexpectedly accelerated and raced almost out of control. per the mechanic, feedback from toyota suggested the incidence was caused by a defective throttle body/sensor. according to the mechanic, the replacement part now offered by toyota reflects significant modifications when compared to the orginal equipment.
