NHTSA complaint #10002975, filed 2003-01, 40,000 miles“In 2004 I had to replace the wiring harness and the multi function switch, fast forward to april 2008 and the same symptoms occurred, dangerously hot steering column, and smoke coming out of it. I think they need to be replaced again (original cost to replace was $1,100). I am extremely disappointed that this problem has not been a reason for a recall, does someone need to die before this can be implemented? I searched online and found that I am not the only one that this has happened to.”
