Description of the problem	Telescopic lever is released and steering wheel makes toward on the highway in driving. This is my 3rd time experience. How can steering wheel lock is released without any warning in driving. According the 2008 toyota avalon manual, toyota already makes caution like this.(page61) "after adjusting the steering wheel. Make sure that the steering wheel is locked. Otherwise, the steering wheel may move suddenly, possibly causing an accident and resulting in death or serious injury." "while driving. Do not adjust the steering wheel. Doing so may cause the driver to mishandle the vehicle and an accident, resulting in death or serious injury." toyota manufacturer already understand if steering wheel is unlocked or release in driving, causing in death or serious injury. I think toyota motor company makes recall and fix this problem as soon as possible.
