Description of the problem	While on a long trip about 100 miles into the drive while driving on the freeway with the cruise control set to 78 mph the steering columns (from the turn signal side) starts smoking and it smelled like electrical wiring burning. I immediately slowed down but did not stop in fear of being stranded in the middle of nowhere. At the same time the turn signal started making this very fast clicking noise that sounded like the turn signal was stuck on, but it was not on. No idiot lights ever came on to indicate a problem. After about 15 minutes the smoke finally stopped the the smell went away. However the fast turn signal clicking noise continued off and on for the remainder of the trip. I continued to drive the next 250 miles home with the clicking noise. I was able to turn the engine off and on again when i stopped for gas and it started just fine. I plan to take the car into the dealership on monday morning to have the issue diagnosed. Just after this happened i called my dealership for advise on what to do and he thought there might be a recall on this issue. My biggest fear was that the inside of the car was going to catch on fire and i was going to be stranded in the middle of no where with no help. Not to mention the fear on me catching on fire as the steering column in right in front of my body. Very dangerous situation. Please recall for this issue.
