Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: For several months the vehicle has emitted a clicking noise from the central dash area that has become more frequent. it is usually triggered by using the turn signal - once the turn signal stops, the clicking noise continues for varying amounts of time. the dealer said it is not related to the service advisory on the hazard flasher, but that it is the wiring to multi-function switch in the steering column shorting out. from internet searches this sounds like a fairly common problem and a short sounds like a potential fire hazard. should there be a recall or at least a warranty extension on this failure mode? the repair cost will be about $350 at the dealer. *jb |
