Your vehicle caught fire shortly after being parked in the garage. Smoke began coming from the front right side, followed by visible flames under the right tire and through the hood. The fire spread rapidly to engulf the entire right side of the car, requiring the fire department to extinguish it and cut open the hood to ensure all flames were fully out. The fire may have originated from an electrical or engine component in the front right area of the vehicle.

Your passenger side front window stopped working, and this has happened before. The window uses an electrical motor and switch system to operate. The repair will likely involve replacing the window motor, switch, or related electrical connections on that door.
