Description of the problem	I picked up this ford fiesta 5dr vehicle 9/29/2016 (automatic transmission) new & at that time i noticed that the steering column lock/unlock lever for the tilt/ telescopic wheel was very hard for me to engage/disengage to adjust the height of the steering wheel.. I asked at that time if the lever could be adjusted for ease since i am a 76 y/o female with not much strength in my hands, perhaps if i were a 20 y/o agile male it wouldn't be such an issue.. I was told by the dealer that they could not adjust that since it is a safety issue to change that; while i understand the safety thing i also know that my hand, thumb, arm & wrist are suffering from this 'design flaw' & i will speak with my doctor next week in regard to this pain.. I'm not sure who designed this lever to be so hard for some people to use & adjust but obviously they didn't take into consideration older female drivers .. While i paid for this feature of the tilt/ telescopic wheel i'm having a difficult time taking advantage of this feature because of the lever issue; in addition i am short so need to get closer to the steering wheel to drive comfortably.. Shame on the auto designer for what i consider a design flaw done without testing before releasing to the entire public..
