Consumer Description

SOMETIME LAST YEAR I WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY FOG LIGHTS. I WOULD TURN THE SWITCH TO TURN THEM ON, BUT THEY WOULD NOT TURN ON. I WENT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THEM FIXED. I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, BUT THEY TEMPORARILY FIXED THEM EACH TIME. THEN ABOUT 1 WEEK AGO, I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND I NOTICED A FUNNY SMELL AND WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT OF MY STEERING COLUMN. SO I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. EVERY TIME YOU TURNED IT BACK ON, THE STEERING COLUMN GOT VERY HOT AND WHITE SMOKE WOULD COME OUT OF IT. I THEN PROCEEDED TO TAKE IT TO MY DEALER. THERE WAS SOME MELT DOWN INSIDE OF MY STEERING COLUMN, WHICH CAME FROM THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH. MY CAR INSURANCE AND MY WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER THE DAMAGE, WHICH TOTALED $630. *JB
