Power Window Problems of Suzuki Grand Vitara

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. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they told me that they could not do anything because I had exceeded my warranty period of 3/36,000. They also called the central offices to verify if the situation had been reported by another consumer in which they responded that this was the first report regarding this event. Currently my vehicle is 3 yrs 4 months old with aprox. 44, 600 miles. The vehicle was not checked, and I was told that I should make a claim to my insurance in order to have it revised and fixed. Currently the vehicle has not been repaired.
