Description of the problem	After driving for approximately 15 minutes, i saw a small amount of smoke coming from the drivers door panel and it smelled like an electrical fire. Afterwards, the drivers side power window switch and the passenger side power window switch was not functional. The passenger window would only let down (very slowly) but wouldn't go back up. I took the vehicle to a toyota service center and they showed me that the main power window switch on the drivers side had a hole burned into it the size of a dime. The service manager said he had never seen anything like this before. Prior to this the passenger window switch was replaced twice between september 2010 and november 2010. However, the replacements still never took care of the problem of the passenger window switch intermittently working. In fact, a couple months ago i was just at the dealership complaining that i was still have the problem with the window switch on the passenger side intermittently working. I never guessed that my car could catch on fire! Now i'm a little worried about driving my vehicle! Updated 11/17/11 bf updated 06/06/12 js
