Consumer Description

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN I PUT ON MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL IT DOESN'T BLINK IT JUST FREEZES AND SMOKE COMES FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. AS SOON AS I TURN THE TURN SIGNAL OFF IT STOPS SMOKING. IT WILL BE OK FOR A WHILE BUT THEN HAPPENS AGAIN. YESTERDAY WHEN IT HAPPENED I HAD TROUBLE GETTING IT TO STOP SMOKING. I AM MAKING AN APPOINTMENT TODAY TO HAVE THIS CORRECTED. *NM
