Consumer Description

SUMMARY: WHILE DRIVING, THE MASTER POWER WINDOW SWITCH OVERHEATED AND BEGAN TO EMIT A STRONG BURNING ODOR. AFTERWARDS THE LEFT REAR WINDOW FAILED TO OPERATE. SINCE I INITIALLY DID NOT KNOW WHERE THE ODOR WAS COMING FROM, I WENT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY TO SEE IF THEY COULD FIND THE SOURCE OF THE ODOR BUT THEY COULDN'T. AFTER SNIFFING AROUND, I FOUND THE SOURCE OF ODOR, THE MASTER POWER WINDOW SWITCH. I HAD THE DEALER REMOVE THE FUSE FOR SAFETY REASONS. THE DEALER SAID THE WINDOW REGULATOR HAD FAILED BUT I SUSPECT THE FAILED SWITCH BURNT OUT THE WINDOW MOTOR. I WAS WORRY THAT THE CAR WOULD CATCH ON FIRE. *TR
