Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2002 DODGE NEON SXT. FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW MY FOG LIGHTS HAVE NOT WORKED PROPERLY. WHEN MY HEADLIGHTS ARE ON MY FOG LIGHTS FLICKER ON AND OF ON THEIR OWN. IF I GO OVER A BUMP THE TURN ON ANOTHER BUMP TURNS THEM OFF. THEY EVEN FLICKER ON AND OFF ON SMOOTH ROAD. I THOUGHT NOTHING ABOUT IT UNTIL I STARTED SMELLING SOMETHING ELECTRICAL BURNING. I THEN SAW A STREAM OF WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE TOP OF MY STEERING COLUMN THROUGH THE HAZARD LIGHT BUTTON. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I TURN ON MY HEADLIGHTS. I HAVE NOT HAD THE PROBLEM REPAIRED YET BUT I NEED TO VERY SOON. I AM MOST SCARED THAT A FIRE WILL IGNITE WHILE I AM DRIVING OR THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WILL CAUSE MY AIRBAG TO DEPLOY AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH. *TR
