Steering Column problems of the 2013 Chevrolet Camaro

My steering column came completely out and pinned me back to the seat and almost went through the roof of the car. I was stopped at a red light then all of a sudden I was hit at an estimated speed of 60-65 mph. The guy never hit his brakes but hit me and pushed me through the light. Pictures are posted. The scratch mark is of the roof, where steering column almost went through it. Gm did send an engineer down to my house to investigate, he was there 5 hrs and when he left he was still shocked that a rear end and it did this. He did say that if I had of been hit in the head area I would be dead. I did have surgery on my left thumb and wrist I had a rupture of the ulnar collateral ligament with avulsion to my left thumb. Surgeon states I will never be 100% again. .

While driving down a local roadway making a left turn the tilt steering wheel locking lever fell out of position and hit my leg while I was attempting to shift gears. The surprise of an unexpected object striking my leg resulted in missing the shift and grazing a curb which resulted in damage to my right front tire and wheel. Upon stopping, the lever was unable to be pushed back into place and was easily removed from the steering column without the usage of tools. Vehicle was taken to Chevrolet dealer where I was told that the only way to fix this was to replace the entire steering column, service department agreed that this was not a wear & tear issue on the mechanism, but that they have no information on a problem with this item. Camaro and other chevy forums show this is not an isolated incident.

The steering column in this brand new vehicle is not straight. It was like this brand new. I was told that all of the 2013 Camaros are like this. This is crazy. I have spent a lot of money on this car. Please help?.
