| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was getting ready to go to work when i tried to put on the headlights, which failed 3 times . i kept switching the lights switch on high beam, then low beam, turned the light switch off, then back on again. in which the light turned on for me to be able to go to work. i then tried again several days in a row i called the dealer and got an appointment to have the switch checked, i took my car in on march 12, 2007 for them to look at it on march 13. they told me that, not only was the switch bad, but the plug overheated and melted the plug that plugged into the steering column. he told me that the y had to go to pick up the plug because they did not have it in stock. my question to the parts man was what caused it to get that hot that it melted the plug like that ? he said to me, he had no idea. now my question to you is, if something got that hot in the switch, which caused the pug to melt , that it broke into several pieces as he tried to get it out, . to me this is a safety hazard. and i then asked him now can you tell me, can this happen again> he said he couldn't say that it couldn't. if it is not a recall, someone should make it one. there is not anything telling me that it couldn't get that hot and melt that switch, that it couldn't catch something in the electrical system on fire. please let me know if you find anything. i submitted one complaint 2 weeks ago, and haven't heard any reply. please , someone get back to me on this matter. i was also told that my car isn't the only one that has come in there with this type of problem. it wasn't only my make or model, but something is causing that switch to get hot enough to melt the plug. thank you for your time in this matter.*ak |
