Consumer Description
NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS BECAME INTERMITTENT; STARTED OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY ONCE PROBLEM STARTED EVENTUALLY HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT STAY ON; DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM WAS RELATIVE TO THE POSITION OF THE TILT OF STEERING COLUMN; VEHICLE WAS EVALUATED AND REPAIRED; REPAIR INCLUDED REPLACING THE WIRING HARNESS AND THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH; THE WIRING HARNESS HAD SHORTED OUT APPARENTLY FROM THE REPEATED MOVEMENT OF THE TILT BEING ADJUSTED; OLD PART IS AVAILABLE; I'M REPORTING THIS BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS DANGEROUS WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS GO OFF TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS AT NIGHT. IT IS ALSO A FIRE HAZARD PER THE MECHANIC THAT REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. WE DID SMELL SMOKE AT ONE TIME BUT DIDN'T NOTICE ANY OTHER COMPONENTS DAMAGED. MAYBE WE WERE JUST LUCKY. *TR
