While driving, the driver's side door panel caught on fire. Consumer is aware of safety recall for power window control module replacement. The vehicle was being driven with no inside door panel (bare metal exposed). The window was being held up with plastic tape, and the vehicle cannot be locked due to the fire damage to the door. Also the vehicle has the stench of smoke from the fire in the door. We think this may have been caused by the power window device.
