The power window switch will not roll windows up or down. At first the driver side control would not operate any windows in vehicle. Then the driver side power window quit working also. It seems as if the motor is defective.

As I was driving, my car filled up with a rubber scent of burning rubber. The conrol switch box on the drivers side door began smoking out of the window locks crack. Pooring raining, pulled over and immediately shut off car. After 5 min. Smoke went away. Smell remains. Disconnected battery. Window still open a crack. Would not shut and a trash bag is covering the hole. This was scary. In August, 1 month after buying the car the sunroof would not work. Open or shut. This is just another electrical problem that has occured with this vehicle.
