Consumer Description

DRIVING ON RT 81S IN VIRGINIA WHEN THE TELESCOPING STEERING COLUMN LOCK CAME UNLOCKED. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE STEERING WHEEL COLLAPSED TOWARD THE DASH. SINCE THEN IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. SEEMS TO SIMPLY VIBRATE LOOSE FROM TRAVELING ON BUMPY ROADS. TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER BUT THEY SAID THEY DROVE IT 7 MILES AND IT DIDN'T FAIL SO THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. SINCE THEN, IT HAS COME UNLOCKED 2 TIMES IN 264 MILES. AS LONG AS I CHECK IT EVERY TIME I START THE CAR, AND ANYTIME I DRIVE MORE THAN 100 MILES, IT'S SAFE BUT THIS IS NOT A GOOD SITUATION. DOING A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET SHOWS MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE OVER MULTIPLE YEARS OF AVALON'S. *TR
