Takata recall. My 2014 toyota sienna was in motion on the highway going a steady 75 mph. And the trac off light went on and we tried turning it off like we usually do whenever we turn it on on accident. And after a mile down the highway it started fuming intensely so we stopped at a gas station.

The top hinge of the fuel filler door broke at 82000 miles. It now does not allow the automatic sliding door on the drivers side to open because of the safety mechanism. The hinge broke when i opened the door during refueling.
