Consumer Description
THIS IS FOR A 2000 FORD EXPLORER SPORT. WHEN I TURN THE LEFT SIGNAL ON, EVERY FEW DAYS, THE SIGNAL LIGHT WILL STICK AND SMOKE WILL COME OUT OF THE STEERING COLUMN NEAR THE HAZARD SWITCH. FORD REFUSES TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A FAULT IN THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH WHICH WAS RECALLED ON SEVERAL EXPLORERES (JUST NOT SPECIFICALLY MINE).*AK
