The driver's door master power window switch module got hot & started smoking. Removing and looking at it showed that it caught on fire. It looks like it started somewhere on the circuit board. It seems identical to the problem listed on the 2006 chevy trailblazers. (the federal safety agency campaign number: 15v599000) it happened in 2015.
