Consumer Description

DURING THE DAY THE INSIDE OF MY CAR HAD A BURNING PLASTIC SMELL. LATER THAT NIGHT, MY HEADLIGHT LOW BEAMS WOULD NOT WORK. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME WITH THE PASSING BEAMS WEDGED ON. TODAY I TOOK THE HEADLIGHT/TURN SIGNAL SWITCH OFF OF THE STEERING COLUMN. THE ASSEMBLY HAD STARTED TO MELT AND THE HARNESS CONNECTOR THAT WAS ATTACHED TO IT IS SINGED! APPARENTLY I AM NOT THE FIRST TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM IN A HONDA VEHICLE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE. *TR
