    STEERING COLUME TILT LOCKING MECHANISUM FAILED AND THE COLUME DROPED. HAD I NOT BEEN ALERT VEHICLE COULD HAVE SWERVED AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. DEALER SAYS STEERING COLUME HAS TO BE CHANGED BUT THEY ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE. WANTS TO PUT A USED ONE IN. IT SEEM TO ME THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. IF NOT WHY ARE THERE NONE AVAILABLE ANY LONGER? MAYBE BECAUSE OF A SILENT RECALL!
