Consumer Description

I had my steering wheel telescope out and tilted up when driving down highway I had to hit my brakes Because of the car in front of me hitting his as I did so my steering wheel collapsed inward And down We'll do an approximately 45 miles an hour on the freeway. This could have caused me to lose control of the vehicle. And cause major injuries to others and was locked in positiand should have not been able to push in without it being unlocked.
