Description of the problem	Shortly after purchasing my 09 toyota avalon, the lever that locks the telescoping steering wheel in place began falling down. Three mechanics all say it's a manufacturer defect covered by a bulletin and cannot be repaired, only replaced for over $1000. Last week a multicar accident occurred 100 ft ahead of me and when i braked to avoid becoming part of the debacle, the steering wheel descended into its lowest position, almost forcing me to lose control of my car. Several times, i've bloodied my knee exiting the car. Toyota na says there's nothing they can do. This is a pretty obvious safety defect that in a similar situation an operator will less experience might be seriously injured or killed.
