“While my husband was driving our Suzuki xl7 2004, the passenger door on the driver's side, began to show some smoke. Suddenly, flames started to come out from the power window button. The fire was put out with water. When the panal was removed, apparently the fire was due to the wiring system. The fire damaged the power window button, the panel and the wiring up to our knowledge and after just a visual inspection. My daughter suffered an asma attack that evening due to smoke inhalation. …”
