I came out to my vehicle today, unlocked the door with the keyless remote but the driver's door was unresponsive. Upon starting the vehicle I realized the windows don't work on the driver's side as well. I removed the driver door control module to find a burn mark internally on the door as well as burnt plastic on the door module itself. The window and lock worked fine the night before so I'm concerned with the short circuit occurring over night without a key in the ignition.
Driver door power window and lock control circuit board malfunctioned and started to smoke and failed to operate driver window, also lights inside window and door lock switches no longer works, upon removing switch assembly I found it to be badly melted and black, it appeared to have caught on fire.
The driver's door window and door lock has been working intermittently over the last 1 1/2 yrs. This last March, the window stopped working . Then the door lock followed and then the entire door. I have no control over any aspect of the car with that door. I makes a buzz-zapping sound. I cannot lock the windows at all in the back, so now my young children play with the windows and hang out them. The doors are supposed to lock when the truck is put into gear, but that does not always happen. Sometimes it will happen 10 minutes into a trip , sometimes not at all. In the last month the front passenger side window stopped working also. My sons are now complaining of hearing a buzz, click, click, click, sound coming from the back doors. I assume it is the vehicle attempting to lock the doors since we are driving but it is unable to. The driver side mirror also has a mind of its own due to the malfunction of the electrical or the door. It will change its positioning all by itself . I always have to readjust it manually just to find it pointing at the ground later on. I took it to my Chevrolet dealer and was told my vehicle is not included in the recall because of where I purchased it and where I limy live. This is a safety issue apart from the obvious electrical zapping that can be heard, but it is also for children when the vehicle is in motion. I am unemployed and it is going to cost over $150 for them to look at it, and he said there is no recall so to fix it, I will have to pay. There is constant exposure to salt air here in florida. My kids lives are at stake. I do not care where I live, this is there safety. What if they open the window and get hurt because I cannot lock the window because of problems with my car door. The recall needs to be nation wide and it needs to resolved before someone get hurts.

I left my window down on my 2006 chevy blazer. The door/lock controler got water in it, shorted out and started on fire.
