Was driving down road and felt steering wheel came loose. Stopped at dealer because he was concerned. Dealer would not do anything because it was not under warranty. So decided to go home because steering wheel had not come off completely at that point. While on the interstate the steering wheel came off. Laid steering wheel aside and used steering column to make it home. No repairs have been made, but took vehicle to dealer to see if anything could be done.
