    Exterior Lighting

    There were smoke from steering column. To be exact, from "hazards button" on top of steering column behind steering. It happened several times but only few seconds and stop. My garage mechanic changed assembly with "turn signal wiper switch" and i think fixed it. It is scary since it happened while driving high speed. *tr

    Dt: contact states the inside lights, windshield wipers, and the power windows would not work. Also, the outside light would not go off when the vehicle was shut off, causing the battery to run down. There was a recall on this vehicle regarding the generic electric module, but this specific vehicle does not fall under this recall campaign.*ak
