Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 2003 dodge srt-4 (55k) was driving on the freeway and heard a pop. i smelled a foul odor as if something was burning but went away. i did not see any smoke, the windows were down. the car was still riding smoothly so i continue my drive home. was not till that evening i noticed my headlights or fog lights would not turn on. i did some research on the "forums" and read about similar issues. apparently my mfs (multi function switch) has failed during my drive and it is confirmed that i have a burnt hole under my connecter in the steering column. this is very dangerous. this could have literally started a fire during my drive and or shut off my lights driving at night. i have read that this has actually happened. car is at the dealership right now being fixed with my own money! *jb
