Default 06 - DSC Switch & Switch Cluster

I have a query for you guys. I recently had an issue where the DSC switch and the hazards switch in the switch cluster became non-functional.

These are part of the multi-group switch cluster above the stereo. The dealer replaced the cluster group and the switches seemed okay.

So 3 days after getting the car back, I am driving at night with the top down and the heat cranked. For kicks I shut off the DSC switch. The switch seemed sticky. It functioned once, and then stopped functioning. I spent a little bit of time messing with it, but the switch would not function.
The following day I messed with it again, and the switch movement had a different feel.

I checked the switches at night and when the lights are on they seem to get quite warm. I was wondering if anyone elses switches get warm, and get excessively warm when the heat is turned on. Warm enough to affect the switch movement.

Thanks

Dave

O2, my cluster created a short awhile back on the backlights, but switches functioned ok though. I had to replace it. Check w/ jagtechohio, maybe he can repair mine that I am sending him and give you a good deal on a functioning one?

Fortunately for me everything is covered under warranty through 2012. So Jag will take care of it, I was just trying to find out if I am the lucky one, or if others had come across this problem.
