| EXTERIOR LIGHTING | |||
| 08/28/2010 | 90000 | ||
| On several occasions, smoke has been emitted from behind the steering column. initially, fog lights would not turn off. later, smoke came from behind the steering column, and the fog lights turned off, but would not turn on. 1 month later, more smoke came from behind the steering column, with a bad odor, and the headlights stopped working. now, i have had to buy the mfs (multi-function switch) but it does not work, as the wiring harness and wires are burned. the dodge dealer says that the entire wiring loom has to be replaced for several thousand dollars. i have researched online, and have found several complaints of the same issue. my concern is that headlights, taillights, turn signals, etc, should be a safety issue, and i have seen that many other neon owners have had taillights go out, turn signals not operate, etc. i checked 7 cars in junk yards today, and found that all of them had burned wires and harnesses. dodge should remedy this issue, which is clearly related to safety. | |||
