8 Power Window problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2012

I just got in the car and was driving when I smelled something burning. It was at night so I could not see where it was coming from so I pulled over and noticed smoke was coming from the front left driver side door and even through the window switch. I turned around and went back home so I can turn the car off and let the smoke escape the car. It stopped smoking after awhile but now I cant use none of my windows except the driver side. The other switches are stuck they wont move seemed like that what was burning. This definitely needs to be investigated because with a car only 4 years old, this should not be happening. The car has been well maintained. Called Toyota and the main power window switch is 350, something that I should not be responsible for.

The driver side power window master switch started to smoke, after starting my vehicle and pressing the switch to roll down my windows. I turned the vehicle off and my car filled with smoke. I immediately called the fire department. Once the fire department arrived my car was no longer smoking. The firefighters could not tell me what caused the smoke but stated it was not safe for me to drive the vehicle. They recommended I have my car towed to the dealership because there was a strong smell of melted electrical wires.

I pulled the passenger side window up to close it, I did not see my friend's finger there, the glass cut the skin of the finger tip area and it was bleeding. I have tried myself and the glass pushed my finger very hard. A child finger bone can be broken easily. There is no safety on all the windows. This is very bad for kids or families.
