Consumer Description

THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. I IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN THE CAR. AFTER STARTING THE CAR, I REALIZED MY HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. I PULLED ON THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH TWICE AND REGAINED THE USE OF MY HEADLIGHTS. I DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP (BIG VALLEY DODGE/SUBARU) ON 5/24/06. ON 5/26/06, AT ABOUT 4:20 PM, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM MARVIN IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. HE ADVISED THEY WERE GOING TO REPLACE THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH AND WIRE HARNESS. HE ALSO ADVISED I WAS BEING CHARGED $386.00 + TAX AS MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. IT SEEMS AS THERE IS NO TSB ON THIS PROBLEM ALTHOUGH THERE ARE MANY NEON OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS.
