Wiring Problems of Saturn SL1

No prior indication of a fault. On March 26, 2005 my wife went to start the car and not only would it not start, but smoke started coming up from the dashboard. Upon having it towed to a Saturn dealer, we were told that the iginition switch had failed and had burnt out the wiring harness. This car has 48849 miles on it. This just does not make any reason, as should iginition swaiches go bad on a low mileage car and cause so much additional damage?.

The switch to my power window was burned out in my car. Took it to the Saturn dealership in phil. They told me I had shorted out by spilling somthing in my consel area. They also said the regulator was shorted out. I knew this was a lie. When the car was still under warrenty they had to replace another switch because it was burnt out. I knew it was the same thing just the other switch. They also said the area in question was all sticky . Another lie. They wanted 350. 00 to fix problem. I said no. I took the car to another car shop the man there said the switch was burned out replaced it for 133. 00. He said there was no evidence that any thing had been spilled inside consul area where the switch and regulator was. I feel that they were just trying to take advantage of me.
