I was backing my car into my driveway and then I shut off engine, radio still playing, then all of a sudden lights started dimming and the anti theft went into action. Whole car shut down, not even remotes would work. Got the hood opened and discovered a melting wire connected to the negative side. Thank god I was home when it happened. Could this have caught fire inside my garage? My car is currently at turner Toyota in montrose colorado. Was inquiring if this is a malfunction with wiring harness. So far its costing us 800.00 dollars in repair, which I dont have my car back as of today. I would like this matter closely looked at for a safety recall due to the matter things could have been alot worse.
