Just recently in the last three months front passenger window fell while driving and back driver window fell while driving while it what snowing while my son was in the car. Have a popping noise in steering or somewhere in front end. I can't use my accelerate button on steering wheel while it's in cruise because it won't stop acceleration once you press it. I was going about 55 and was trying to accelerate to 60.

Electric door lock on drivers side makes a loud buzzing sound when trying to engage.
I was driving and smelled burning. Pulled over on a four lane highway. I then saw smoke. I drove a block away to a safe spot got out of the car and called 911. The firefighters extinguished an electrical fire that started in my passenger side door. They believe the motor in my door caught fire. I had to have the vehicle towed. Now I'm at a loss as to what to do. Thank god I had just dropped my son off at school so no injuries.

This is very difficult since there was no power to the vehicle. I was headed toward I-64 on the on ramp when all of a sudden it happen again. Car were coming toward me and with much difficulty I manage to get it partially out of the road. I finally got it started back up and it happened on two other occasions. I am afraid to drive my jeep.
