While driving the vehicle consumer states that smoke comes from the dash where the hazard light is. It gives off a unpleasant smell, and then it goes a way. Please provide any further information.
At times my left turn signal when engaged doesnt work and at this time I notice smoke coming out of steering collumn,this has something to do with pressing the brakes, sometimes when I depress it works then goes off when pressing a second time, also display on stereo works part time only maybe one out of every ten drives.
While driving vehicle will stall, and instrument panel would illuminate. Took vehicle to dealer, and dealer replaced instrument panel.
