Description of the problem	On my way home i suddenly saw a sign on the screen "check the hybrid system. Stop in a safe place". I pulled over, smelled smoke and saw smoke in the rear. I opened the trunk ans frightened by flame. I pulled things out and covered the flame with two big towels and succeeded in putting it out, although i got burned on my fingers. I called geico. They sent a towing car and it took my car to my apartment. When geico took my car to a collision center, they said it is total loss after inspecting it. I claimed it to toyota. They inspected it, but said that there was no evidence that the car had electrical or mechanical defect. I did nothing but driving the car, but it caught fire. Whose responsibility is that? I believe the producer should take the responsibility but they do not. Where can i be compensated for the loss?
