Consumer Description

2003 DODGE SRT-4 (55K) WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND HEARD A POP. I SMELLED A FOUL ODOR AS IF SOMETHING WAS BURNING BUT WENT AWAY. I DID NOT SEE ANY SMOKE, THE WINDOWS WERE DOWN. THE CAR WAS STILL RIDING SMOOTHLY SO I CONTINUE MY DRIVE HOME. WAS NOT TILL THAT EVENING I NOTICED MY HEADLIGHTS OR FOG LIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN ON. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE "FORUMS" AND READ ABOUT SIMILAR ISSUES. APPARENTLY MY MFS (MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH) HAS FAILED DURING MY DRIVE AND IT IS CONFIRMED THAT I HAVE A BURNT HOLE UNDER MY CONNECTER IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THIS COULD HAVE LITERALLY STARTED A FIRE DURING MY DRIVE AND OR SHUT OFF MY LIGHTS DRIVING AT NIGHT. I HAVE READ THAT THIS HAS ACTUALLY HAPPENED. CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP RIGHT NOW BEING FIXED WITH MY OWN MONEY! *JB
