| Dt: eddie bauer seat model # 22755 bgl manufacturer's # ae1b103309. the fabric on the car seat melted due to heat in the vehicle. over the last two to three weeks the consumer examined the car seat each day, and yesterday noticed there was a new melting spot in the fabric, and the foam underneath the fabric was brown colored and scorched. the harness straps had fabric on them and they melted as well, just not as bad. some of the places on the harness covers the material was not burned, but was a brown color. spoke to the manufacturer, and told them that all this was caused by the heat in the car, and they were not concerned, and they offered to replace all the material on the child safety seat. the consumer offered to send the old material to the manufacturer and they said that was not necessary.*ak | |||

| My late 1999 toyota echo was parked after a short drive. two and a half hours later it burst into flames. the car was completely destroyed and a large area of my home was burned. i and my niece were asleep upstairs. no one was injured. the smell of smoke woke us. when we first saw the car, a column of white fire was shooting up through the windscreen to the ceiling 11 feet above. the fire came from the center of the console/dash area. at that time there were no flames around or under the car. just the column of flame from the center. the horn was sounding. the fire department and police arrived within 10 minutes and confirmed that the fire was seated in the central dash area. the keys were beside by bed. the car had only been serviced by toyota service centers and there were no modifications to the car. when toyota were notified, they sent investigators to look for a relay near the alternator. the results of my insurance', toyota's and an independent investigator's investigations were (as relayed to me by phone) unspecified fire starting in the dash. *jb | |||
