Description of the problem | Vehicle in motion when the steering column came off and all steering of the vehicle was disconnected and impossible. Adjustable steering column system appears to have failed and fell to lowest position unexpectedly. Pulling up and out on the wheel to return to my normal position gave no resistance and steering wheel, blinker/wiper control housing, ignition housing, and adjustable column controls came off the mechanical connector for the remaining steering column, breaking the ignition switch and disallowing further operation. Vehicle rolled to an uncontrolled stop and was able to be pushed to a safe place and placed in park. |
