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.
STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY AND COMPLETELY BREAKS AWAY CAUSING COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING. CAUSE: WELD WITH NO PENATRATION AND POOR DESIGN. I CAN'T IMAGINE A MORE SERIOUS SAFTY DEFECT.
WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE OUT OF DRIVEWAY WHEN STEERING WHEEL CAME APART WITHOUT A PRIOR WARNING, STEERING WAS COMPLETLY LOST. *AK THE CAUSE FOR THE STEERING WHEEL TO COME APART WAS POOR DESIGN AND POOR WELDING. *YH
DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S DOORS SEPARATED FROM THE HINGES. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED.*AK
THIS CAR IS ALWAYS PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND HAD NO PRIOR PROBLEMS UNTIL THE ENGINE JUST DECIDED TO THROW A ROD THROUGH THE ENGINE BLOCK. *AK
