| Description of the problem | While i was taking a 360 degree exit ramp at 35 mph my steering column collapsed and i got control barley before i hit the curb around the median. I stopped and re-locked the mechanism. About ten minutes later as i was crossing a bridge on the highway 55 mph the car rolled over two expansion joints the lock again released the steering wheel shot up the column collapsed i barley got control again just avoiding side swiping a tractor trailer in the lane next to me. Is this part a safety item like seat belts and air bags ? Is this an item that should be able to loosen itself while your driving ? Please forgive me my scanner is not working, if you need the repair order please contact me and i will mail it to you. |
