Consumer Description

I TURNED ON MY HEADLIGHTS AND AFTER ABOUT THIRTY SECONDS, I NOTICED A SMELL THAT SMELLED LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING. MAYBE ANOTHER 15 SECONDS OR SO AFTER THAT, I SAW SMOKE POURING OUT OF THE STEERING COLUMN. PULLING OFF THE ROAD NOW, I ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOWS AND SHUT OFF THE LIGHTS REMEMBERING THAT OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THEIR WIRING HARNESSES MELTING. THE SMOKE DISPERSED AND THE CAR SEEMED FINE. I HAVE NOT USED MY HEADLIGHTS SINCE. *TR
