Consumer Description

FIRST THE DRIVERS WINDOW FELL A LITTLE THEN THE DRIVERS DOOR MASTER POWER SWITCH STARTED SMOKING AND SMOLDERED SO MUCH THAT I HAD TO DRIVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED OFF THE DODGE AND ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE THE SWITCH. THE CONNECTOR WAS MELTED AND WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE. RESTARTED VEHICLE TO GO TO DEALERSHIP AND THE SWITCH CAUGHT FIRE. AGAIN TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND PULLED THE SWITCH, IT WAS MELTED AND FELL APART. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE WIRES WERE BADLY MELTED FROM THE HEAT. TOOK TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. *TR
