Consumer Description

I HAVE A 1992 CHEVROLET SUV VAN. AS I WAS DRIVING WEST ON I-10 APPROACHING THE INTERSECTION OF I-49, DRIVING AT THE POSTED SPEED ON A SLIGHT INCLINE THE STEERING WHEEL CAME OFF THE STEERING COLUMN. LUCKILY, I DID NOTHING TO BRAKE; I LET IT SLOW DOWN ON ITS ON. UPON EXAMINATION, I DISCOVERED THE STEELING WHEEL WAS MOUNTED USING A THINK PLASTIC WASHER. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE DESIGN, THE CPSC SHOULD INVESTIGATE THIS DESIGN DEFECT. I HAVE PHOTOS TO ILLUSTRATE THEIR DEFECT IF YOU NEED THEM. I WILL HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER STEERING WHEEL. YOUR RESPONSE WILL BE APPRECIATED. *TR
