| Description of the problem | The latch on the lower left of the steering column that controls the positioning of the steering wheel constantly comes loose. I discovered that as i was driving on the highway, going straight, and the steering wheel suddenly slid in and down. Almost causing me to loose control with my children in the car. Upon checking with a avalon fan group, i discovered that this is a issue with almost every single person who owns this body style. |
