What owners wrote
Truck was idling, just got home and the master window switch started smoking and as that happened both back windows rolled down and fire came out from window switch.
While operating the vehicle on a city street, highway, and off road; on both a rough paved roads and while running over bumps in the road, the vehicle experienced sudden loss of power (engine and all powered accessories) affecting the vehicle's engine, power steering and braking. Fortunately, no accidents or other events have occurred when I was operating the vehicle during this sudden loss of power.
