Turn Signal Switch Problems of Dodge Intrepid

Multi function switch located on left side of steering collar that controls turn signals, high/low beam selection ,and wiper blades has failed for the third time. The orignal switch was replaced by the dealer at a cost of 197. 00 dollars on 21 Jan 2000. 14 months later the switch failed again, part replaced on 6 March 2001 at a cost of 228. 00 dollars with another serive center. 16 months later, again the switch has failed- awaiting repair. These switch failures result in a smoldering fire inside the steering colum resulting in smoke risinf from the left side of the steerng column. This is a serious safety hazard. Failure causes headlights to intermittantly go out during night driving, turn signals fail to work , and wiper blades are inoperable. To preclude complete destruction of wiring harness, fuses were pulled negating use of the previously mentioned controls.

Tried to open driver window, and it would not go down. When using the switch, you would notice that the headlights would flicker. It is noted as a TSB, but the garage has not been checking on the problems with the vehicle.
