About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
Sometimes when I have my turn signal on smoke will come out from the steering wheel where the emergency signal button is on top of the steering wheel. It doesn't happen everytime I use it but it happens quite often.
- Myrtle Beach, SC, USA
Multiswitch in 2000 Ford Explorer failed and gave off smoke, afraid of fire.
- Fords, NJ, USA
When I turned on my left turn signal, it doesn't blink. It just freezes and smoke comes from the steering column. Once I turned off the turn signal it stopped smoking.
- Arlington Heights, IL, USA
This is for a 2000 Ford Explorer Sport. When I turn the left signal on, every few days, the signal light will stick and smoke will come out of the steering column near the hazard switch. Ford refuses to remedy the problem. This is a fault in the multi-function switch which was recalled on several exploreres (just not specifically mine).
