Consumer Description

AFTER VEHICLE WAS STARTED, A GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD AND THE TILT AND TELESCOPING OF THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME INOPERABLE. THE STEERING WHEEL IS STUCK AT THE LOWEST POSITION AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CANNOT BE SEEN WHILE DRIVING. THIS MAKES IT UNCOMFORTABLE BECAUSE MY LEGS ARE PRESSED AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL AND COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT FOR THIS, BUT DEALERSHIPS WILL NOT ADDRESS IT. THE COST IS ROUGHLY $800 TO REPAIR AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE FAILURES OF THIS PART(S) FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON DIFFERENT FORUMS. *TR
