| 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! this vehicle has benn towed behind a motorhome for 25,000 miles of it's total 53,567 and has not been out of the high position more than two dozen times since i owned it because i am a big guy and need the room. | |||
