Consumer Description

THE STEERING COLUMN TELESCOPING MECHANISM DROPS, MAKING THE STEERING WHEEL TELESCOPE ALL THE WAY DOWN WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS THAT WE HAVE HAD THE 2009 AVALON. OUR 2005 DID THE SAME EXACT THING. I AM NOW BEING TOLD THAT WE NEED TO PAY OVER $1100 TO HAVE THE STEERING COLUMN REPLACED AND HAVE THE CAR ALIGNED AGAIN. THIS IS NOT A FREAK THING WITH JUST THIS CAR, AS OUR OTHER ONE WAS THE SAME WAY. *TR
