Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I turned on my headlights and after about thirty seconds, i noticed a smell that smelled like something was burning. maybe another 15 seconds or so after that, i saw smoke pouring out of the steering column. pulling off the road now, i rolled down the windows and shut off the lights remembering that other owners have had problems with their wiring harnesses melting. the smoke dispersed and the car seemed fine. i have not used my headlights since. *tr
