There was absolutely nothing combustible in my back pack I removed my back back from the vehicle. The extinguished itself some how. I began coughing and choking due to the toxic smoke.

NHTSA complaint #11467561, filed 2022-06“The contact owns a 2017 Toyota Camry. While driving at an unknown speed, the front driver's seat moved up and down. While the vehicle was parked, the seat moved to the steering and the back of the seat reclined to the rear driver's side seat. The failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (silsbee Toyota in silsbee, tx), but the failure could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that nothing could be done without duplicating the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 700.”
